Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnetic-disk glass substrate of the present invention includes a pair of main surfaces, a side wall surface, and a chamfered surface between the main surfaces and the side wall surface. Regarding surface properties of at least one of the side wall surface and the chamfered surface of the glass substrate, an arithmetic average roughness (Ra) is 0.015 μm or less, and a bearing factor of a roughness cross-sectional area when a roughness percentage is 60% is 95% or more in a bearing curve of a roughness cross-sectional area.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A magnetic-disk glass substrate comprising: a pair of main surfaces; a side wall, surface on an outer circumferential side; and a chamfered surface between the main surfaces and the side wall surface, in the side wall surface on the outer circumferential side, an arithmetic average roughness being 0.015 μm or less and an amount of change in a roughness percentage being 25% or less when a bearing factor of a roughness cross-sectional area increases from 20% to 80% in a bearing curve of the roughness cross-sectional area, and an arithmetic average roughness of the main surfaces being 0.2 μm or less. 2. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a number of pieces of colloidal silica microparticles that are attached to a region of 100 μm square on the side wall surface on the outer circumferential side is five or less. 3. An annular glass substrate used as an original for a magnetic-disk glass substrate that includes a pair of main surfaces, a side wall surface on an outer circumferential side, and a chamfered surface between the main surfaces and the side wall surface, in the side wall surface on the outer circumferential side, an arithmetic average roughness being 0.015 μm or less and an amount of change in a roughness percentage being 25% or less when a bearing factor of a roughness cross-sectional area increases from 20% to 80% in a bearing curve of the roughness cross-sectional area. 4. The annular glass substrate according to claim 3 , wherein a number of pieces of colloidal silica microparticles that are attached to a region of 100 μm square on the side wall surface on the outer circumferential side is five or less. 5. A magnetic disk in which at least a magnetic recording layer is formed on a surface of the magnetic-disk glass substrate that is formed from the annular glass substrate according to claim 3 . 6. A magnetic disk in which at least a magnetic recording layer is formed on a surface of the magnetic-disk glass substrate that is formed from the annular glass substrate according to claim 4 . 7. A method for manufacturing a magnetic-disk glass substrate, the method comprising: polishing processing in which a polishing liquid containing polishing abrasive particles is used to perform main surface polishing on an annular glass substrate including a pair of main surfaces, a side wall surface on an outer circumferential side, and a chamfered surface between the main surfaces and the side wall surface, in the side wall surface on the outer circumferential side of the annual glass substrate on which the main surface polishing is performed, an arithmetic average roughness being 0.015 μm or less and an amount of change in a roughness percentage being 25% or less when a hearing factor of a roughness cross-sectional area increases from 20% to 80% in a bearing curve of the roughness cross-sectional area.
