Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnetic-disk glass substrate according to the present invention is a doughnut-shaped magnetic-disk glass substrate having a circular hole provided in the center, a pair of main surfaces, and an outer circumferential end surface and an inner circumferential end surface each including a side wall surface and a chamfered surface that is formed between each main surface and the side wall surface. A measurement point is provided on the outer circumferential end surface every 30 degrees in the circumferential direction with reference to a center of the glass substrate, and when a curvature radius of a shape of a portion between the side wall surface and the chamfered surface is determined at each measurement point, the difference in the curvature radius between neighboring measurement points is 0.01 mm or less.

The invention claimed is: 1. A doughnut-shaped magnetic-disk glass substrate having a circular hole provided in the center, the doughnut-shaped magnetic-disk glass substrate comprising: a pair of main surfaces; and an outer circumferential end surface and an inner circumferential end surface each including a side wall surface and a chamfered surface that is formed between each main surface and the side wall surface, a measurement point being provided on the outer circumferential end surface every 30 degrees in the circumferential direction with reference to a center of the glass substrate, and when a curvature radius of a shape of a portion between the side wall surface and the chamfered surface is determined at each measurement point, a difference in the curvature radius between neighboring measurement points being 0.01 mm or less. 2. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the difference in the curvature radius between neighboring measurement points is 0.005 mm or less. 3. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 2 , wherein a measurement point is provided every 30 degrees in the circumferential direction with reference to the center of the glass substrate, and when a curvature radius of a shape of a portion between the main surface and the chamfered surface is determined at each measurement point as a second curvature radius, a difference in the second curvature radius between neighboring measurement points is 0.004 mm or less. 4. The magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 3 , wherein the glass substrate has a thickness of 0.635 mm or less. 5. A magnetic disk in which at least a magnetic layer is formed on the magnetic-disk glass substrate according to claim 4 . 6.
