Abstract

To provide glass to be used for a substrate which is, as a substrate, less susceptible to surface roughening even if subjected to cleaning by means of a strongly acidic solution. Glass for a substrate, which comprises, as represented by mol % based on the following oxides, from 62.5 to 69% of SiO 2 , from 9 to 15.5% of Al 2 O 3 , from 8 to 16 of Li 2 O, from 0 to 8% of Na 2 O, from 0 to 7% of K 2 O and from 0 to 3.5% of ZrO 2 , provided that SiO 2 —Al 2 O 3 is at least 53.3%, Li 2 O+Na 2 O+K 2 O is from 17 to 24%, and the total of contents of the above six components is at least 97%.

Claims (17)

1. A glass which comprises, as represented by mol % based on the following oxides, from 62.5 to 69% of SiO 2 , from 9 to 15.5% of Al 2 O 3 , from 8 to 16 of Li 2 O, from 0 to 8% of Na 2 O, from 0 to 7% of K 2 O and from 0 to 3.5% of ZrO 2 , provided that SiO 2 —Al 2 O 3 is at least 53.3% and at most 56.0%, Li 2 O+Na 2 O+K 2 O is from 17 to 24%, and the total of contents of the above six components is at least 97%.

2. The glass according to claim 1 , wherein SiO 2 is from 64 to 68%, Al 2 O 3 is from 9 to 13%, Li 2 O is from 10 to 15%, Na 2 O is from 3 to 7%, K 2 O is from 1 to 5% and Li 2 O+Na 2 O+K 2 O is from 19 to 23%.

3. The glass according to claim 1 , wherein the total of contents of the above six components is at least 98%.

4. The glass according to claim 1 , which contains from 0 to 2% of MgO.

5. The glass according to claim 1 , which does not contain any one of CaO, SrO and BaO, or contains at least one component of CaO, SrO and BaO, provided that the total of their contents is at most 1%.

6. A glass substrate made of the glass as defined in claim 1 .

7. A chemically strengthened glass substrate having the glass substrate as defined in claim 6 chemically strengthened.

8. A magnetic disk having a magnetic recording layer formed on a glass substrate made of the glass as defined in claim 1 or on a chemically strengthened glass substrate having a glass substrate made of the same glass chemically strengthened.

9. The glass according to claim 1 , which has a sulfuric acid etching rate w of at most 1.0 nm/h.

10. The glass according to claim 1 , which has a sulfuric acid etching rate w of at most 0.6 nm/h.

11. The glass according to claim 1 , which has a Young's modulus E of at least 76 GPa.

12. The glass according to claim 1 , which has a specific modulus E/d of at least 28 MNm/kg.

13. The glass according to claim 1 , which has a glass transition point Tg of at least 499° C.

14. The glass according to claim 1 , which has a glass transition point Tg of at least 510° C.

15. The glass according to claim 1 , wherein C R =C Li +C Na +C K is at most 12 nmol/cm 2 at a time when a glass substrate made from said glass is held for 20 hours in a steam atmosphere at 120° C. under 0.2 MPa, wherein C Li , C Na and C K , represent the amount of Li, the amount of Na and the amount of K precipitated on the glass surface, respectively.

16. The glass according to claim 15 wherein C R =C Li +C Na +C K is at most 3.5 nmol/cm 2 .

17. The glass according to claim 1 , wherein Al 2 O 3 is present in an amount of 11.5 to 13 mol %.
