MAGNETIC SENSOR HAVING DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON THIN FILM

摘要

Wear-resistant and low-friction hard amorphous, diamond-like carbon coating (DLC) is formed directly on an external surface of a magnetic recording media sensor (MRMS). The coating demonstrates a high degree of hardness, low friction coefficient and moderate electric resistivity, providing abrasion-proof, low-clogging, static electricity-deterrent properties.
