Abstract

Herein is disclosed a magnetic recording member having a high mechanical durability and an improved resistance to wear. The magnetic recording member comprises a substrate, a magnetic layer formed on the surface of the substrate and a first non-magnetic layer of a metal having a low melting point, preferably lower than 400.degree. C. and formed on the magnetic layer, at least the surface of the first non-magnetic layer being oxidized. The magnetic recording member may further contain a lubricant layer. The surface of the magnetic recording member of the invention presents a roughness lower than 25 nm and includes fine protrusions having a linear density higher than 1.times.10.sup.3 /mm. The process for the preparation of the magnetic recording member is also disclosed.
