Study on the Damage of Magnetic Recording Media

A series of friction and wear test with different damage degrees were made on a group of floppy disks. Through investigating the change situations of recording characteristics of magnetic recording media before and after test as well as combining the Nano-tribology researching method, the critical area that the recording characteristics of magnetic recording media turning to failure was found out. Finally, descriptions and tokens of damages in the test were discussed.Copyright © 2007 by ASME
