摘要 |
The present invention relates to a high-density magnetic recording medium (or "media" as it is sometimes called) for a recording/reproduction system (such as thosed used in computer disk drives) and, more particularly, to a magnetic recording medium having a plurality of magnetic recording layers such that the uppermost layer is comparatively thinner and more densely structured than the lower magnetic recording layers. The present magnetic recording medium comprises a non-magnetic plated substrate, a non-magnetic underlying layer laminated on the plated substrate, a plurality of magnetic alloy layers including the uppermost layer laminated onto the underlying layer, a non-magnetic covering layer laminated onto the uppermost layer, and a lubricating layer formed onto the non-magnetic covering layer. The present invention improves the corrosion resistance of an alloy-type magnetic recording medium while maintaining or exceeding the recording/reproducing characteristics of such media, all at a desirable cost of production.
