Abstract
A sputtering target preferably having an average crystal-grain diameter of 300 .mu.m or less and a maximum magnetic permeability of 100 or less is formed of an alloy consisting essentially of, by atom, 5- 30% Ni, 5- 14% Cr, not more than 6% V, and balance of Co and unavoidable impurities. It is preferable for the target to keep a working-strain remaining therein to reduce the maximum magnetic permeability. A method of producing a sputtering target for magnetic recording and reproducing, in which warm working or cold working is applied to the alloy.
