Abstract
In a method of depositing a lubricant layer on a protection layer of a magnetic base, a lubricant is vaporized in a hollow space which is kept at a predetermined temperature under ambient pressure. The predetermined temperature is determined between 100.degree. C. and 300.degree. C. in consideration of a material of the protection layer and a vapor pressure of the lubricant. Preferably, the vaporization of the lubricant is carried out in a thermostatic chamber which defines a hollow space divided by a mesh partition into an upper and a lower chamber. The magnetic base and the lubricant are placed in the upper chamber with the lubricant held in a boat while a heater is disposed in the lower chamber.
