Glass substrate for magnetic disk and magnetic recording medium
View Patent ↗With regard to a glass substrate 1 according to the present invention, a value of an amendment concentricity AC that has taken into consideration Sk and/or Ku calculated from a shape profile over the whole circumference of an inside hole, or the skewness is within a predetermined range. The glass substrate for a magnetic recording medium can stably read servo information including track information stored on a magnetic disk when the glass substrate is used for an HDD.
1. A glass substrate for a magnetic disk with an inside hole formed therein, wherein:
a value (Ku−3) obtained by subtracting 3 from Ku calculated from a shape profile over a whole circumference of the inside hole is in a range of 1.6 to −1.6, and
Ku is given by

2. The glass substrate for a magnetic disk as recited in claim 1 , wherein a circularity of the inside hole is 5.5 μm or less.
3. The glass substrate for a magnetic disk as recited in claim 1 , wherein a value of AC calculated by using a value of Sk ID calculated from the shape profile over the whole circumference of the inside hole, a value of Sk OD calculated from a shape profile of an outer circumference of the glass substrate for a magnetic disk, and a value of a concentricity C is 9.6 μm or less,
