Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc made of an aluminum alloy containing Fe: 0.005 to 1.800 mass % with the balance being Al and inevitable impurities, wherein a flatness change of the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc when the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc is held in the atmosphere at 50° C. or lower for 336 hours is 2.0 μm or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc made of an aluminum alloy comprising Fe: 0.005 to 1.800 mass %, Mn: 1.80 mass % or less, Cu: 1.00 mass % or less, Si: 14.00 mass % or less, Zn: 0.70 mass % or less, wherein Mn, Cu, Si, and Zn are present, with a balance being Al and inevitable impurities, and wherein the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc has a flatness change when the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc is held in the atmosphere at 50° C. or lower for 336 hours is 2.0 μm or less. 2. The aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloy further comprises one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ni: 2.50 mass % or less, Mg: 4.50 mass % or less, Cr: 0.30 mass % or less, Zr: 0.15 mass % or less, Be: 0.0015 mass % or less, Sr: 0.10 mass % or less, Na: 0.10 mass % or less, and P: 0.10 mass % or less. 3. The aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc has a crystal grain diameter on a surface thereof that is 18 μm or less. 4. The aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc has a crystal grain diameter on a surface thereof that is 15 μm or less. 5. The aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc has a crystal grain diameter on a surface thereof that is 12 μm or less. 6. The aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc has a crystal grain diameter on a surface thereof that is 11 μm or less. 7. The aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc has a crystal grain diameter on a surface thereof that is 10 μm or less. 8. A magnetic disc, comprising: on a surface of an aluminum alloy substrate made of the aluminum alloy disc blank for a magnetic disc according to claim 1 , a Ni—P plated layer; and a magnetic body layer on the Ni—P plated layer.
