Abstract
A process for fabricating magnetic transducing heads includes successive grinding, lapping and finishing steps. The ferrite cores of the transducing heads are rough cut with a silicone carbide grinding wheel, to an excess over desired final throat height equal to approximately one-half the nominal diameter of the grinding wheel grit. The core and supporting pads then are placed on a soft tin or lead rotating lapping plate for removing substantially all of the excess. Finally, the pads and cores are hand-finished on a stationary plate or soft tin, copper or lead. A diamond slurry used during lapping and final finishing, has a controlled alkaline pH in order to simultaneously chemically etch and polish the cores.
