摘要:
A glass substrate for a magnetic recording medium has a textured surface having numerous grooves extending in the circumferential direction of the glass substrate. The average roughness of the textured surface is 0.4 nm or less. The number of the grooves is 15 or more per micrometer. The average depth of the grooves is 2 nm or less. The grooves are formed by mechanical texturing using a texturing liquid applied between a texturing tape and the surface of a blank glass substrate rotating. The texturing liquid is an aqueous dispersion of fine diamond abrasive grains.

The present invention utilizes a combination of chemical and mechanical finishing processes to polish a disk substrate surface to near atomic smoothness. Broadly speaking, the surface of a disk substrate that has been machined (i.e., rough ground) to a predetermined surface roughness is subjected to attack by a chemical formulation (called an attacking agent). The chemical formulation is used to soften the substrate material. Then, the softened material is “wiped away” via mechanical action.

A magnetic disc rotates causing an air flow that produces a floating force head unit which undergoes floating force by air flow produced as the result of the fact that the magnetic disc is rotated serves to selectively carry out loading of a first disc cartridge within which there is accommodated a first magnetic disc adapted so that flat recording tracks are provided at a disc substrate formed by molding synthetic resin and a magnetic layer is provided in a manner to cover the recording tracks, and a second disc cartridge within which there is accommodated a second magnetic disc adapted so that information uneven pit trains are formed at a disc substrate formed by molding synthetic resin and a magnetic layer is formed in a manner to include bottom surfaces and upper surfaces of information uneven pit trains, the magnetic layer being magnetized in the state where magnetization direction of the magnetic layer portions on the bottom surfaces and that of the magnetic layer portions of the upper surfaces of information pit trains are different from each other so that information such as program, etc. are recorded. Thus, new program can be installed into computer only by exchange of the disc cartridge.

Provided are a low-noise, high-performance magnetic recording medium obtained by fining the size of the grains in a magnetic film, and a magnetic recording medium of low thermal demagnetization obtained by controlling the magnetic grain size in a small range. Simultaneously provided is a large-capacity magnetic storage system capable of high-density recording with a recording density exceeding 20 Gb/inch2. In a magnetic recording medium in which a magnetic layer is formed on a substrate via an underlayer, the magnetic layer is formed of an alloy containing cobalt as the main constituents and containing boron, chromium and germanium or containing phosphorus, chromium and germanium as additives of the alloy.

A magnetic data storage medium is provided that has a substrate surface with regularly spaced, continuous ridges and grooves thereby to enhance the magnetic layer crystallization orientation. Data storage tracks extend longitudinally along the ridges, the grooves between adjacent ridges providing separation between data tracks on either side of each ridge. To form the substrate surface a focused laser beam is continuously applied to the substrate in a path of generally circumferential direction on the disk surface between inner and outer radii of a data storage zone while the substrate is rotated at a relatively constant first speed and the focused beam is moved radially at a relatively constant second speed.

A magnetic recording medium includes a substrate, a data region and a CSS region on a surface of the substrate. Information is recorded in the data region, and a magnetic head is held stationary in the CSS region. A thin film texture is fabricated in the data region by sputtering, and a laser texture is fabricated in the CSS region by laser irradiation. The laser texture includes a plurality of first projections. The thin film texture includes a plurality of second projections. The second projections are lower in height than the first projections.
摘要:
A base plate for a suspension assembly in a hard disk drive wherein the base plate has a hardened flange and soft hub. The base plate is stamped in a progressive die in a sequence of forging and coining operations. The base plate is subsequently fully annealed to allow the material to yield at a low stress level so that the hub will create a press fit against the inner wall of an actuator arm boss hole. The base plate is passed through a secondary coining operation following the annealing step to work-harden the flange portion only. The result is a base plate with a flange portion that is hardened and a hub portion that is softer than the flange portion. The advantage is that the hardened flange is more resistant to deformation of a load beam welded thereto and the hub is more disposed to plastically deform and harden during swaging which is desirable for maintaining a press fit.
