MAGNETISCHER AUFZEICHNUNGSTRAEGER.

摘要

A magnetic recording medium is formed by depositing a layer of a cobalt-platinum magnetic alloy (which may also contain chromium) on a non-magnetic underlayer consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, niobium or vanadium. The magnetic alloy has a higher coercivity than when deposited on a chromium underlayer. The coercivity of the magnetic alloy becomes even higher when the substrate is maintained within such a temperature range during deposition of the magnetic alloy that an intermetallic compound of cobalt and the metal of the underlayer is formed at the interface between the magnetic alloy layer and the underlayer.
