Abstract
Abstract A carrier medium for recording comprises a ribbon of insulating material and a metal coating deposited thereon in a thickness of at least 250 A which coating is adapted to be electrically seared for producing writing trackings. The coating is predominantly composed of vapor deposited aluminum of which at least 15% by weight is in the form of aluminum oxide, aluminum oxide hydrate or a combination of these two compounds. The content of oxygen-attached aluminum in the metallic coating is determined by first measuring the total aluminum contents per surface unit in a definite size specimen of the coating, then placing the specimen into alkali to evolve hydrogen in an amount equivalent to the metallic aluminum present in the coating, whereupon the amount of hydrogen developed is determined by gas chromatography.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A carrier for recordings, particularly for recordings produced by selectively burning away portions of the carrier, comprising a ribbon of insulating material; and a layer for the production of recordings provided on said ribbon and having a minimum thickness of about 250 angstroms, said layer including a minimum of about 15 percent by weight of aluminum in the form of a substance selected from the group consisting of aluminum oxide, aluminum oxide hydrate and mixtures of aluminum oxide and aluminum oxide hydrate, and said layer further including at least one element selected from the group consisting of cobalt, silicon, germanium, chromium and nickel, the remainder of said layer being predominantly metallic aluminum, and the total aluminum content of said layer being a minimum of about 80 percent by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
