Abstract:
A recording head assembly includes a glass-gapped ferrite head bonded into a ceramic slider with a glass. Infrared bonding is employed. The infrared absorption properties of the glass are increased by the addition of cupric oxide.
Abstract:
A method of mounting a ferrite head within a slider wherein the head is positioned within a slot on the slider, a mass of glass composition is heated to thereby fill the gap between the head and slider, machining the head while being held between solidified glass and subsequently heating a second mass of glass by infrared radiation to fill in the depression created by the machine operation.
