Abstract
A surface of a non-magnetic base plate is first coarsened to a required surface roughness and an ultrasonic vibration is then applied to the surface of the non-magnetic base plate while the nonmagnetic base plate is immersed in a liquid. Thereafter, a magnetic recording layer and a protective layer are successively formed on the surface of the non-magnetic base plate thereby to produce a magnetic recording medium. It is preferable that the frequency of a ultrasonic is within a range from 200 kHz to 1600 kHz. Surface fractional properties of the magnetic recording medium can adequately be controlled without variation of floatation height of a magnetic head during its running by varying an ultrasonic oscillation output and an ultrasonic processing time.
