Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium of the vertical record type belonging to the Co-Cr series in which the residual magnetization is normal to said magnetic medium, characterized by the fact that Cr is present in an amount of 13 to 28% by weight based on the total of Co and Cr and the value of the saturation magnetization of said magnetic medium is larger than that of the bulk having the same composition as the mean value of composition of said magnetic medium.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
130 words
A magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic layer containing Co and Cr as the main components thereof, formed on a substrate by vacuum deposition, the magnetic layer having an axis of easy magnetization perpendicular to the surface of the medium, wherein said magnetic layer contains Cr in an amount of 13 to 28% by weight based on the total of Co and Cr and has a saturation magnetization larger than that of the bulk having the same composition as the average composition thereof and wherein a packing coefficient x, defined by the quotient obtained by dividing the density of said magnetic film (g/cm 3 ) by the density of a single crystal having the same composition as that of said magnetic film (g/cm 3 ) is between 0.75 and 0.95.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
130 words
A magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic layer containing Co and Cr as the main components thereof, formed on a substrate by vacuum deposition, the magnetic layer having an axis of easy magnetization perpendicular to the surface of the medium, wherein said magnetic layer contains Cr in an amount of 13 to 28% by weight based on the total of Co and Cr and has a saturation magnetization larger than that of the bulk having the same composition as the average composition thereof and wherein a packing coefficient x, defined by the quotient obtained by dividing the density of said magnetic film (g/cm 3 ) by the density of a single crystal having the same composition as that of said magnetic film (g/cm 3 ) is between 0.75 and 0.95.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The magnetic recording medium set forth in claim 1, wherein the ratio of Co and Cr is changed along the thickness of said magnetic layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
