INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve corrosion resistance and to lessen the dependency of a recording power on a line speed by providing a metallic layer consisting of an aluminum alloy contg. specific ratios of chromium and titanium. CONSTITUTION:A recording layer 3 and the metallic layer 4 are provided on a substrate 2. The metallic layer 4 is constituted of the aluminum alloy which contains 0.1 to 5 atomic% chromium and 0.1 to 9.5 atomic% titanium based on the total atomic number constituting the aluminum alloy and is of <= 10 atomic% in the total content of the chromium and the titanium. The corrosion resistance is improved in this way and the dependency of the recording power on the line speed is lessened. In addition, the protective effect of the recording layer 3 is improved.
