Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid the saturation of a recording magnetic field and a magnetic field gradient by forming a first and a second metallic layer whose saturation magnetic flux density is higher than a magnetic core in a magnetic gap and making the saturation magnetic flux density of the second metallic layer higher than that of the first metallic layer. CONSTITUTION:The metallic layer 2 of two layers consisting of the first metallic layer 2a and the second metallic layer 2b is formed in the magnetic gap 3 of the magnetic core from the core side. The layer 2a essentially consists of Fe and it is formed of a material including Si of 8-11weight% and Al of 1-5weight%. Besides, the layer 2b essentially consists of Fe and it is formed of a material including Si of 3-7weight% and Al of 1-5weight%. Therefore, the saturation magnetic flux density of the layer 2 becomes higher than the magnetic core and that of the layer 2b becomes higher than that of the layer 2a. Thus, the saturation of the recording magnetic field and the magnetic field gradient is avoided and a magnetic characteristic is improved. Simultaneously, rust or the like is prevented from being generated.

In the metal-in-gap type magnetic head, its recording characteristics, that is, the recording magnetic field Hx and the magnetic field gradient θHx/B
In order to improve x (field gradient), a material with a high saturation magnetic flux density Bs may be used for the metal layer 2, but after the saturation magnetic flux density Bs reaches a certain value, the recording magnetic field Hx It has become clear that the magnetic field gradients and magnetic field gradients reach saturation values, and that these values are not improved by increasing Bs. (IEEE Trans
, on Magn, MAG-24゜pp, 2623-2
625. (Nov, 1988) This is thought to be due to the low saturation magnetic flux density Bs of ferrite and the like used in the magnetic core. On the other hand, it is also possible to increase the thickness of the metal layer 2 for the same purpose (same paper), but since the metal layer 2 is created by forming a thin metal film on the end face of the magnetic core 1a by sputtering, An increase in thickness leads to an increase in sputtering time, which poses manufacturing difficulties. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have filed a patent application for a magnetic head that solves the above problem in Japanese Patent Application No. 107143/1999. This patented magnetic head is a metal-in-gap magnetic head in which a metal layer made of a magnetic metal is provided in a magnetic gap formed in a magnetic core. It is composed of a plurality of thin film layers made of a material higher in quality than that of the core, and the thin film layer (second metal layer) located closer to the magnetic gap is higher than the thin film layer (first metal layer) located closer to the magnetic gap. The metal layer is made of a material whose saturation magnetic flux density is higher than that of the metal layer. According to this magnetic head, the phenomenon of saturation of the recording magnetic field and magnetic field gradient, which conventionally occurred due to the low saturation magnetic flux density of the magnetic core, is avoided, and the presence of multiple thin film layers allows these thin film layers (especially magnetic By effectively utilizing the high saturation magnetic flux density of the thin film layer near the cap, it is possible to improve the recording magnetic field and magnetic field gradient. Furthermore, it was possible to ensure sufficient characteristics without increasing the overall thickness of the metal layer, and manufacturing difficulties such as an increase in sputtering time could be avoided. However, when the second metal layer is formed of a material consisting only of Fe, the saturation magnetic flux density Bs is good, but when the thickness of the metal layer is increased to further improve the magnetic properties, the soft magnetic properties deteriorate and rust etc. There is a possibility that this may occur. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a magnetic head that can improve the recording characteristics of a metal-in-gap magnetic head, has no manufacturing difficulties, and has the metal layer as described above. By limiting the composition of
The object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic head whose magnetic properties can be further improved by increasing the thickness of a metal layer without causing problems such as deterioration of soft magnetic properties and generation of rust.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a magnetic head that is an embodiment of the present invention. In the following description of the embodiment, the same components as those of the conventional example will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. The difference between the magnetic head of this embodiment and the conventional magnetic head is in the metal layer 2. That is, in this embodiment, the metal layer 2 is composed of two layers: a first metal layer 2a and a second metal layer 2b. The first metal layer 2a and the second metal layer 2b are made of magnetic metal, and the first metal layer 2a on the side facing the magnetic core 1a contains 8 to 11% by weight of Si and Al.
On the other hand, the second metal layer 2b on the side facing the magnetic gap 3 is made of an iron alloy containing 5 to 8% by weight of Si.
The second metal layer 2b located closer to the magnetic gap 3 has a higher saturation magnetic flux density Bs than the first metal layer 2a located closer to the magnetic gap 3. It is constructed to have a high corrosion resistance and has excellent rust resistance. If the composition of the second metal layer is outside the claimed range, for example, if the composition has a high Fe content, the saturation magnetic flux density will increase, but the soft magnetic properties necessary for a magnetic head will be impaired, the magnetic permeability will decrease, and the coercive force will increase. I end up. Moreover, if the content of Si and Al is increased, the content of Fe will be small and the saturation magnetic flux density will be low, making it impossible to achieve the purpose. Next, in the magnetic head shown in FIG. 1, the first metal layer 2a is made of Si: 9.62% by weight and Al: 5.38% by weight.
The second metal layer 2b is formed from a material containing Si: 5.58% by weight, Al+2.74% by weight, and the remainder is Fe, and the film thickness of the second metal layer 2b is The magnetic properties were measured when the magnetic properties were changed. The thickness of the first metal layer 2a at this time was constant at 15 μM, and the horizontal axis of each graph was taken as the thickness of the second metal layer 2b. As a comparative example, as shown in FIG.
Magnetic properties were similarly measured. The results showing the relationship between film thickness and saturation magnetic flux density Bs are shown in Figure 3.
The results showing the relationship between film thickness and magnetic permeability μ are shown in FIG. 4, and the results showing the relationship between film thickness and coercive force Hc are shown in FIG. As is clear from FIG. 3, in the conventional magnetic head consisting of a single metal layer, the saturation magnetic flux density Bs remains constant even if the film thickness is changed, but in the magnetic head of this embodiment, the saturation magnetic flux density Bs remains constant. It can be seen that the saturation magnetic flux density Bs significantly increases with the film thickness. From FIGS. 4 and 5, it can be seen that although the film thickness is unrelated to μ and Hc in the conventional magnetic head, in the magnetic head of this embodiment, μ and Hc are independent of the film thickness.
It can be seen that Hc decreases and Hc increases. Therefore, in the magnetic head of this embodiment, by adjusting the film thickness of the second metal layer 2b, desired Bs, μ
, He can be obtained. Furthermore, in the magnetic head of this embodiment, problems such as rust will not occur even if the film thickness is increased.
