Abstract
Circumferential texture grooves polished into NiP plated AlMg substrates promote magnetic crystal anisotropy in longitudinal recording media. Freshly textured or washed NiP is a chemically reactive surface, and combines with atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide to form Ni carbonates. These adventitious products alter the surface morphology and interfere with magnetic domain growth.
