Abstract
A thin-film magnetic head having a magnetic core formed by a thin-film deposition technique on a substrate formed of crystallized glass which comprises of a mass of microcrystalline aggregation particles having an average particle size of 1 to 10 .mu.m and each comprising of an aggregation of microcrystalline grains having an average grain size of about 0.5 .mu.m or smaller. This structure enables an improvement in the abrasion resistance of the head and, hence, an improvement in the recording/reproduction characteristics while maintaining the desired workability of the substrate, thereby improving the head in producibility and reliability.
