PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems, such as the degradation in working space efficiency and a cost increase by as much as the need for assembly jigs (holders and fixtures, etc.), as trays or blocks move as a pair at all times while unfinished HG assemblies move between respective manufacturing process steps in assembling the HG assemblies which are components of hard disk devices and consequently the assembly jigs are needed by as much as the number of the unfinished HG assemblies existing in at least the respective assembly process steps. SOLUTION: Base plates, load beams, etc., which are lamination members constituting the HG assemblies are respectively formed of run constitution. The base late runs 3 and the load beam runs 4 are conveyed in the laminated run state by the conveyance equipment 2 and are subjected in the run state to necessary assembly process steps, such as adhesion of the respective layers, fitting of sliders, electrical connection of terminals and the like.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide iron based parts with high cleanliness (e.g. a base plate of a suspension for a disk drive). SOLUTION: A base plate 20 made of a base material of stainless steel formed by press working is polished by an abrasive mainly composed of Fe2 O3 in a polishing process and is deburred. The base plate 20 after polishing is heated to a solution treatment temperature in a reducing atmosphere during a heat treatment process. Through the heat treatment process, an oxide of ingredients in broken micro pieces of the abrasive existed on the face of the base material of the base plate 20 is reduced to leave iron and the iron is diffused in the base material.
