Abstract :
Wear resistant properties of inorganic protective layers applied to thin film metalic media are determined for several combinations of protective layer and sliding head materials. When a fluid lubricant is applied, medium durability tends to improve with increasing hardness of the protective layer material. Durability also depends on the slider material.
