Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively prevent the attraction of a head from being generated by setting the maximum waviness in a direction perpendicular to the radius of a magnetic disk at a value larger than a specific value. CONSTITUTION:In a base for the magnetic disk, it is necessary to provide the maximum waviness>=0.04mum average per measuring length 2.5mm in the radius direction at least at four points in the landing area of the head. Also, the manufacture of the base for the magnetic disk is performed in such a way that finishing is performed by surface grinding by using a polishing pad having ruggedness on its surface. In such a way, it is possible to obtain the base for the magnetic disk with a superior head attraction preventing effect with a low cost. Also, by manufacturing the substrate in such method, a satisfactory surface without generating a haze groove on the surface can be obtained.

(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an aluminum substrate used for a magnetic disk of a magnetic disk drive, and more particularly to a magnetic disk substrate with excellent head adhesion resistance and a method for manufacturing the same. (Prior Art and Problems to be Solved) Magnetic disk drives are trending toward larger capacities and higher densities, and magnetic media are shifting from conventional coated media to thin film media using sputtering or plating methods. Furthermore, in order to increase the density, it is essential to reduce the distance between the magnetic disk and the head, that is, the flying height of the head, and recently, some have been made smaller than 0.2 μm. In order to stably obtain such a low flying height, efforts are being made not only to improve the flatness and smoothness of the disk, but also to make the slider surface of the head mirror-finished. On the other hand, magnetic disk devices are also becoming smaller, and spindle rotation motors and the like are also becoming smaller and smaller. As described above, due to mirror-finishing of the disk and head slider surfaces and lower torque due to the miniaturization of spindle motors, a phenomenon in which the head remains stuck to the disk surface and does not fly up, the so-called head adsorption phenomenon, has occurred in recent years. This has become a problem. As a method to prevent this head adsorption by reducing the contact between the head and the substrate surface, surface roughness can be reduced by forming fine grooves (hereinafter referred to as 1-row grooves) on the substrate surface of the magnetic disk. So-called texturing is used to adjust the number of people between 500 and 1,500. As a texturing method, a method is mainly used in which a wrapping tape having an average abrasive grain size of 1 to 15 μm is pressed onto the surface of a rotating substrate using a pressure roller or the like. However, when texturing is performed using this method, there are protrusions on the surface with a height of about 0.08 to 0.5 μm, and extremely wide and deep protrusions with a depth of 0.5 to 1 μm and a width of 5 to 20 μm. The presence of grooves (hereinafter referred to as "biting grooves") has caused problems such as head collisions and missing errors. Furthermore, texturing is performed after polishing, which increases the number of steps, which increases costs. The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic disk substrate that is excellent in preventing head adsorption at a low cost, and to provide a method for manufacturing the same. It is something to do. (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive research to clarify the attraction mechanism and countermeasures for the attraction phenomenon between magnetic disks and heads. The present invention was based on the discovery that head adhesion can be effectively prevented by increasing the maximum waviness (Wcx) in the length direction of the slider, that is, in the direction perpendicular to the radius of the disk. be. That is, the magnetic disk substrate according to the present invention, which has an excellent effect of preventing head adsorption, has a maximum waviness (Wcv) in a direction perpendicular to the radial direction at at least four locations in the landing area of the head of 0.00000000000000000000 per 2.5n++a measured length. It is characterized by having a diameter of 0.04 μm or more. Also, what is the manufacturing method for this magnetic disk substrate? It is characterized by finishing by surface polishing using a polishing pad having an uneven surface. The present invention will be explained in more detail below. As mentioned above, the present inventors focused on the surface properties in the longitudinal direction of the head slider in a magnetic disk substrate, particularly the maximum waviness. In other words, this maximum waviness (WCM) is the maximum waviness in the direction perpendicular to the radial direction at at least four locations in the landing area of the head, and must be an average of 0.04μ or more per 2.5m measurement length. is necessary. More preferably, it is 0.045 μm or more. If the thickness is less than 0.04 μm, the effect of preventing adsorption of the head is insufficient. It goes without saying that it is more preferable if the WCM at five or more locations satisfies the above value. A magnetic disk base having such a surface quality is achieved by polishing the surface using a polishing pad having unevenness. The polishing pad is not particularly limited as long as it has unevenness, but the pattern of the unevenness, the pitch, the level difference between the concave and convex parts, the material of the bat, the abrasive grains used, etc. may be adjusted as appropriate to obtain the maximum waviness as described below. Just choose. First, the uneven pattern of the polishing pad may be in the form of a mesh, a grid, or a line, but in the case of a line, a pattern perpendicular to the tangential direction of one rotation of the disk substrate is WcM. does not increase, which is not desirable. The pitch of the uneven pattern is preferably equal to or less than the slider length, and more preferably equal to or less than half the slider length. If the pitch is longer than the slider length, even if the WCM is large, the effect of preventing head adsorption will be insufficient. The height difference between the concave portion and the convex portion of the pad is 0.1 am or more, more preferably 0.21101 am or more. Such an uneven pattern can be formed by various methods, but it can also be formed by pressing a wire mesh made of stainless steel or the like against the pad surface at 80 to 200°C. Pads include cloth, polyurethane, artificial leather, etc.
Any material can be used as long as it can form unevenness on its surface. Furthermore, the abrasive grains used may be any material that is commonly used for polishing, such as silicon carbide, alumina, and diamond. The size of the abrasive grains varies depending on the final required roughness, the hardness of the pad to be combined, the load during machining, etc., but it is generally preferable to have an average grain size of 1 to 15 μm. The pressing load of the pad is preferably in the range of 30 to 200 g/cm''. Of course, the material of the magnetic disk substrate is not limited. Next, examples of the present invention will be shown. (Example) Magnetic disk substrate material A perforated disc with an outer diameter of 130 mm, an inner diameter of 40+ m, and a thickness of 1.9 mm prepared by applying N1-P plating using the 085086AQ alloy by a conventional method was polished under the conditions shown in Table 1. The polishing allowance was set to 2 μm on one side, and the polishing device used was Speed Fam DSL-18B at a load of 100 g/cm. The polishing pad is shown in Figure 1 (Invention Example H111)
and a cross-sectional profile as shown in FIG. 2 (Comparative Example Ha3). Regarding the substrate after polishing, Rtm and maximum waviness (WCM
) was measured. The results are also listed in Table 1. Note that Rtm is the length at which roughness evaluation was performed (in this example, 0.
49mm (4/6) is divided into equal parts, the Rti (maximum roughness) in each sampling range is determined, and the average value of the Rti (in this example, i = 1 to 4) is expressed, and the WCM is
The maximum undulation in the direction perpendicular to the radial direction at four locations in the landing area of the head was determined as an average value per measurement length of 2.50 Im. In addition, Talystep manufactured by Rank Taylor Hobson was used to measure Rtm, and 5E-30D manufactured by Koita Institute was used to measure WcM. Furthermore, for head adsorption, etc., Cr and C are added to the substrate surface.
After sputtering o-Ni or C, Nippon Montageson■
Fomblin A M 2001 manufactured by Alpur Denki was applied and the head was 3370 MINI-MONO manufactured by Alpur Electric ■.
When starting up using LITHICHEAD, a 0 mark was given if the head did not stick, and an X mark was given if the head did not stick and the base did not rotate. The results are also listed in Table 1. As is clear from Table 1, in the example of the present invention, adhesion between the head and the disk substrate can be sufficiently prevented, whereas in the comparative example in which the surface is simply polished, adsorption of the head cannot be prevented. In addition, in the example of the present invention, since the finish was performed by polishing with a soft pad, a good surface was obtained without any "bitten grooves" that were observed on the surface when texturing with tape was applied to the surface.
