Abstract
Abstract A film magnetic slider which comprises a slider performing contact-start-stop actions on a recording medium and being provided with a film magnetic head device on the side end of the slider, at least the recording-medium-contacting part of the slider being made from a sintered material having a thermal conductivity of not more than 0.02 cal/cm.sec. DEG C. and an average crystal grain size of not more than 5 mu m has a good slidability on the recording medium and a good machinability and can improve the life of the recording medium.
