Abstract

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium that is made by applying a magnetic paint containing a ferromagnetic powder and a binder to a nonmagnetic support, wherein the magnetic paint contains a magnetic liquid, which contains the ferromagnetic powder and the binder, and a polishing material liquid, which contains a polishing material and a solvent, and wherein the magnetic liquid and the polishing material liquid are individually subjected to dispersion treatment, the magnetic liquid and the polishing material liquid are then mixed together, and after that, a mixed liquid of the magnetic liquid and the polishing material liquid are subjected to dispersion treatment by application of ultrasonic waves.

Claims (11)

1. A method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium, comprising the steps of:

individually performing dispersion treatment of a magnetic liquid which contains a ferromagnetic powder and a binder and of a polishing material liquid which contains only a polishing material and a solvent;

mixing the magnetic liquid and the polishing material liquid together;

preparing a magnetic paint by performing dispersion treatment of a mixed liquid of the magnetic liquid and the polishing material liquid by a circulating type ultrasonic dispersion treatment apparatus; and

applying the magnetic paint to a nonmagnetic substrate,

wherein the dispersion treatment of the polishing material liquid comprises a first step by a batch type ultrasonic dispersion treatment apparatus and a second step by a circulating type ultrasonic dispersion treatment apparatus.

2. The method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the polishing material is diamond.

3. The method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the average grain size of the polishing material is not more than 0.3 μm.

4. The method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the average grain size of the polishing material is not more than 0.3 μm.

5. The method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent is cyclohexanone.

6. The method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium according to claim 2 , wherein the solvent is cyclohexanone.
