Abstract

The tribological properties of mechanically-textured and laser-textured magnetic rigid disks are investigated using typical sub-ambient pressure sliders. The effect of slider design and carbon overcoat properties on stiction and friction is studied using start/stop and drag testing. Stiction, wear, and acoustic emission for several slider-disk combinations are evaluated
