<p>A magnetic head for reading and/or writing information in direct contact with a magnetic tape, is provided with a head face and a layer structure with magnetic flux conductors, a transducer element, and a transducer gap, the layer structure terminating at the head face, and the head face being at least partly provided with a wear-resistant layer. This wear-resistant layer has a thickness of less than 10 nm. In a preferred embodiment, the wear-resistant layer is built up from a chromium-oxygen layer in which the Cr, from inside to outside, changes from a Cr layer being mainly in the metallic mode into a Cr layer being mainly in the oxide mode, and in which, in the metallic mode, the chromium partly forms an alloy with the material of the magnetic flux conductors in the layer structure.</p> |
