Abstract
A magnetic recording medium is disclosed, which contains a substrate, an uneven layer and a metallic magnetic layer provided on the substrate in that order, wherein the uneven layer is made of an Al--M (wherein M is a metal capable of forming a carbide) and has an uneven surface. This magnetic recording medium enables a magnetic head to float at a low height, and prevents the magnetic head from sticking to the magnetic recording medium. Further, the uneven layer has an excellent adhesivity to the substrate preventing it from peeling off the substrate, and thus a magnetic recording medium having an appropriate surface roughness and excellent durability is provided. This magnetic recording medium can cope with high density recordings.
