Abstract

A magnetic recording medium, which comprises a flattening layer with a thickness of 0.1-5.0 &mgr;m, a seed layer, a nonmagnetic primer layer containing chromium with a chromium concentration of 77-100 atom %, a Co&mdash;Cr type alloy magnetic layer, a protective layer, and a lubricating layer coated sequentially on at least one of the surfaces of a flexible nonmagnetic support member, whereby the seed layer is designed in such a manner that the linear expansion coefficient (E ) of the seed layer and the linear expansion coefficient (E ) of the nonmagnetic primer layer satisfy the relation: &verbar;E &minus;E &verbar;/E <0.3, and the tensile strength (S ) of the seed layer and the tensile strength (S ) of the nonmagnetic primer layer satisfy the relation: S /S >1.
