Abstract:
The present invention provides a method whereby not only the machining speed can be improved during a grinding process utilizing a stationary grinding wheel, but stable grinding can also be enabled. In the present invention, during a grinding process for grinding a main surface of a glass substrate, the main surface of the glass substrate is ground by using a grinding tool that has grinding abrasive grains, a binding material for binding the grinding abrasive grains together, and dispersed grains that are harder than the binding material yet softer than the grinding abrasive grains, wherein the grinding abrasive grains and the dispersed grains are bound together in a dispersed state in the binding material.

METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING GLASS SUBSTRATE FOR MAGNETIC DISC AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MAGNETIC DISCThe invention relates to a manufacturing method of a glass substrate for processing a mirror-smooth plate glass (3) having a mirror-smooth principal surface, to a desired flatness and surface roughness by using a diamond sheet (10) of fixed abrasive grains. As pretreatment, the surface of the mirror-smooth plate glass (3) is roughened by a mechanical method or a chemical method until the polishing action of the diamond sheet (10) is sufficiently applicable. Then, by using the diamond sheet (10), the surface of the mirror-smooth plate glass (3) is processed to a desired plate thickness and flatness.Selected Drawings Fig. 2
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for manufacturing a glass substrate for a magnetic disk, said method reducing the time in which a lapping process by means of fixed abrasive grains cannot be performed, such that a high quality glass substrate can be produced not only without slowing down the processing speed, but also while keeping the surface roughness of the processed surface thereof to a minimum. In the invention, the method includes a lapping process of lapping a main surface of a glass substrate using a lubricant and a surface plate in which fixed abrasive grains including diamond particles are disposed on a lapping surface. The glass substrate is a glass substrate in which the main surface is a mirror surface. The lapping process includes a first stage of abrading the surface of the glass substrate with a load higher than in lapping, and a second stage of lapping the surface of the glass substrate with a lower load than in the first stage. The first stage and second stage are performed using the same device.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a large amount of glass substrates for magnetic discs and magnetic discs having stable quality inexpensively by providing a manufacturing method of the glass substrate for the magnetic disc, which may simply polish the principal plane of the glass substrate to have a very smooth surface. SOLUTION: In grinding using a planetary gear mechanism, a part of a glass disc 7 held on a carrier 13 is relatively moved to a lower surface plate 3 and an upper surface plate 4, and in that process, at least a part of the surface is passed on the outer peripheral side from the outer edges of the respective surface plates 3, 4.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the danger of generating a foreign matter during polishing by constituting a work holding part and a gear part by use of different members. SOLUTION: This polishing carrier 1 is formed of a disc-like work holding part 2 and a gear part 3 fitted and fixed to the circumference of the work holding part 2. According to this structure, generation of a foreign matter by the wear of gear accompanying the meshing of the gear part 3 formed on the circumferential part of the polishing carrier 1 with the internal gear and sun gear of a polishing device can be prevented to eliminate the damage of a glass substrate surface. Since the work holding part 2 for holding the glass substrate and the gear part 3 are formed of different members, the work holding part 2 is not required to have so much high strength when the gear part 3 is formed of a sufficiently strong material. Therefore, the material or thickness can be relatively freely set.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manufacture a glass substrate for a magnetic disk superior in flatness by effectively and appropriately correcting waviness of a surface plate stuck with fixed abrasive grain, and to manufacture a magnetic disk from such glass substrate for a magnetic disk. SOLUTION: After performing a grinding process for grinding a main surface of the glass substrate using the surface plate with the fixed abrasive grain comprising diamond particles being arranged on a grinding surface, a carrier 110 used for grinding and a glass correction ring 202A are replaced with each other, and a process similar to the grinding process is performed. Thus, the waviness of the grinding surface of the surface plate is eliminated and flatness is corrected. The glass correction ring 202A acts as a planetary gear retained by carriers 210A, 210B having a gear on the outer periphery, is configured that glass is stuck on and beneath metal cores 220A, 220B, and has a correcting face thicker than the glass substrate to be ground.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a polishing carrier having high durability and low manufacturing costs, a polishing method, and a method for manufacturing an information recording medium substrate. SOLUTION: In a polishing carrier 1 provided with a polished article holding portion 2 having a plurality of holding holes 2a for holding an article to be polished, and a gear portion 3 provided in the outer periphery of the polished article holding portion 2, coincidence is prevented between straight lines A and B: the straight line A passing through the center of an at least holding hole disposed in the outermost periphery and the center of the polished article holding portion, and the straight line B passing through the center of a holding hole adjacent to the holding hole positioned in the outermost periphery and the center of the polished article holding portion. Alternatively, a distance between the holding holes 2a disposed in the outermost. peripheral side and/or a distance between the holding hole 2a disposed in the outermost periphery and the gear portion 3 is set larger than a distance between the plurality of the holding holes 2a. The concentration of stress applied to the polished article holding portion 2 in the particular part of the holding portion 2 is thereby prevented, and thus the particular part is prevented from being broken.
