Benefits of technology

The present invention provides glass suited for use as a substrate for magnetic recording. The glass has high heat resistance and good impact resistance, making it ideal for use in magnetic recording. The invention also provides a magnetic recording medium equipped with this substrate and a magnetic recording apparatus. Using this glass as a substrate improves the reliability and durability of magnetic recording devices.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, there are limits to how well aluminum substrates, with afford poor surface hardness and rigidity, can respond.
However, when just the particle diameter is reduced, the deterioration of magnetic characteristics due to thermal fluctuation becomes a problem.
Thus, even a slight shock will tend to cause the magnetic head to collide with the surface of the medium.
That causes collisions with the magnetic head to increase when undergoing a shock.
Since there is substantial deflection of the substrate at its outer perimeter, even a slight shock tends to cause a collision with the magnetic head.
Due to the effects of fastening (securing) the medium with a spindle and clamps, there is a substantial possibility of the substrate cracking along the inner circumference portion when the HDD itself is subjected to an external shock.

[0224]The present invention is described in greater detail below through Examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in Examples.

[0225](1) Preparation of Glass Melts

[0226]Oxides, carbonates, nitrates, hydroxides, and other starting materials were weighed out and mixed in a manner calculated to yield glasses of the various compositions shown in Tables 2 to 4 to obtain blended starting materials. Each of the starting materials was charged to a melting vessel, heated, melted clarified, and stirred for 3 to 6 hours within a range of 1,500 to 1,600° C. to prepare a homogeneous glass melt free of bubbles and unmelted materials that was then molded. Eight glasses were obtained. No bubbles, unmelted materials, crystal precipitation, or contaminants in the form of refractory materials constituting the melting vessel were found in the glasses Nos. 1 to 16 that were obtained.
