[Detailed Description of the Invention] Field of Application This invention relates to non-magnetic materials used for structural parts of magnetic heads, and particularly for sliders or spacers essential to the construction of various magnetic heads such as computers, especially ferrite magnetic heads for digital recording. The present invention relates to a ceramic composition for a magnetic head, characterized in that the coefficient of thermal expansion (α) used is 120×10 -7 /°C or more. Prior Art Ferrite magnetic heads are generally assembled by glass welding a core made of magnetic materials such as Mn-Zn ferrite or Ni-Zn ferrite and structural parts made of non-magnetic materials. As a material, saturation magnetic flux density Bs=
Mn-Zn ferrite (thermal expansion coefficient α = 106 × 10 -7 /℃), which has a high magnetic permeability of about 4500G, is used, and TiO 2 -CaO-based material with a thermal expansion coefficient equivalent to that of the above ferrite is used as the non-magnetic structural component material. Porcelain is used. Recently, in order to improve the magnetic head characteristics, the magnetic characteristics are even better, Bs=5100G, hardness Hv.
=650 or higher Mn-Zn ferrites have come to be used. However, the above-mentioned high-performance Mn-Zn ferrite has a thermal expansion coefficient (α) of 120 × 10 -7 /℃ or more, and the porcelain composition matches the thermal expansion coefficient (α) of ferrite for non-magnetic structural component materials. has been requested. In other words, if the thermal expansion coefficients of the core material and non-magnetic structural parts are different, stress will be applied to the ferrite core when they are welded to glass, which will not only cause deterioration of magnetic properties but also cause cracks, peeling, etc. Since this poses a major problem in assembling the magnetic head, the material composition is selected so that the coefficients of thermal expansion of the magnetic material and the non-magnetic material match. In addition, if there are many falling crystals or microcracks in this non-magnetic structural component material, when the magnetic head and the recording medium come into contact with each other, the magnetic powder coated on the recording medium may adhere to the defects or cause chipping. The material must not be susceptible to such defects during machining, since this may damage the magnetic head or recording medium. Purpose of the Invention In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has a thermal expansion coefficient α = 120 × 10 -7 / °C or more and a hardness Hv = about 650, which is equivalent to a high-performance Mn-Zn ferrite. The object of the present invention is to provide a porcelain composition that has a fine and dense crystal structure and that causes very few microcracks or crystals to fall off during machining. Summary of the Invention The inventor has discovered that the invention has a thermal expansion coefficient α = 120 x 10 -7 /°C or higher, a thermal expansion coefficient equal to or higher than that of high-performance Mn-Zn ferrite with a hardness Hv = 650, and a fine crystal structure. As a result of various studies on porcelain compositions that are dense and have very few microcracks or crystals falling off during machining, we found that the thermal expansion coefficient of porcelain compositions depends on their crystal structure. MgO, TIO 2 , etc. have large thermal expansion coefficients of 125 to 140 x 10 -7 /°C at 50 to 500°C, and have properties such as denseness and hardness that are suitable for use as ceramic compositions for magnetic heads. Focusing on having
We found that the NiO-MgO-TiO 2 system with a specific composition is suitable for this purpose as a ceramic with a NaCl-type structural phase. That is, in this invention, NiO 50 to 90 mol%, MgO 10 to 40 mol%,
Consisting of 10-20 mol% TiO 2 , thermal expansion coefficient α = 120
×10 -7 ℃ or more, it is a fine and dense porcelain composition with a crystal structure of hardness Hv = 700 or more, and furthermore, Al 2 is added to the porcelain composition with respect to the total amount of NiO, MgO, and TiO 2 per 100. O3 , Fe2O3 , ZnO , MnO,
Contains at least one type of SiO 2 at 5wt% or less, thermal expansion coefficient α = 120 × 10 -7 / °C or more, hardness Hv = 700
This is a porcelain composition with a fine and dense crystal structure as described above. Structure and Effects of the Invention The NiO-MgO-TiO 2 ceramics having a specific composition according to the present invention is a solid solution having a NaCl type structure, (Ni x Mg 1-x )O and (Ni y Mg 1-y ). The fact that it consists of two phases of TiO 3 is
Confirmed by line diffraction method, (Ni x
The presence of Mg 1-x ) O contributes to increasing the thermal expansion coefficient of NiO, MgO, and TiO 2 ceramics, and the presence of (Ni y Mg 1-y ) TiO 3 increases the was found to become denser. The thermal expansion coefficient α of the porcelain composition of this invention is 120~
130×10 -7 /℃, and the aforementioned Bs = about 5100G,
Since it matches the thermal expansion coefficient of high-performance Mn-Zn ferrite with hardness Hv = 650, there is no stress load during glass welding, and there is no deterioration of magnetic properties, which would otherwise cause problems such as cracking and peeling. Moreover, the hardness of the porcelain composition according to the present invention is 700 to 1000,
To approximate the hardness of Mn−Zn ferrite core,
This has the advantage that there are no steps on the sliding surface of the porcelain head. Reasons for limiting the composition The reasons for limiting the composition of the ceramic composition according to the present invention will be explained below. When NiO is less than 50 mol%, the thermal expansion coefficient α is 120
If it decreases to less than ×10 -7 /°C, it is not suitable for the intended magnetic head, and if it exceeds 90 mol%, pores increase in the porcelain composition, resulting in a decrease in wear resistance. In addition, processability is also deteriorated, which is not preferable. Furthermore, if MgO is less than 10 mol%, a dense ceramic composition cannot be obtained, which is not preferable, and if it exceeds 40 mol%, the thermal expansion coefficient decreases to less than 120×10 -7 /°C, which is not preferable. If TiO 2 is less than 10 mol%, pores will increase in the porcelain composition, resulting in deterioration of wear resistance and workability, and if it exceeds 20 mol%, the thermal expansion coefficient will be 120 ×
Since the temperature decreases to below 10 -7 ° C and is not suitable for magnetic heads, 50 to 90 mol% NiO and 10 to 40 mol% MgO are used.
mol%, limited to a composition of 10 to 20 mol% TiO2 . In addition, additives such as Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , ZnO, MnO,
SiO 2 is effective in densifying porcelain compositions, but when the amount added exceeds 5wt%, the densification effect is saturated, and especially in the case of Al 2 O 3 , the thermal expansion coefficient α is 120×
It is not preferable because it decreases to less than 10 -7 /°C. Examples Commercially available NiO, MgO, TiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 ,
Using Fe 2 O 3 , ZnO, MnO, and SiO 2 , as shown in Table 1, the composition after hot isostatic pressing is the composition according to the present invention (Nos. 1 to 9) and outside the scope of the present invention. Weigh it so that it has the composition (No. 10 to 12),
After mixing in a ball mill for 6 hours and drying, calcining,
After fine pulverization and granulation, the molding pressure of 1.5T/ cm2 is 28mm
A porcelain composition was produced by molding it into a size of 28 mm x 15 mm under the sintering conditions and HIP (hot isostatic pressing) conditions shown in Table 1. The obtained porcelain was examined for its density, porosity, coefficient of thermal expansion, and Vickers hardness, and the results are shown in Table 1. 【table】
