Abstract

A magnetic recording medium substrate is provided in which a NiP type plating film is formed on a surface of an aluminum alloy substrate that includes Si in a range of 9.5 mass % or more and 11.0 mass % or less, Mn in a rage of 0.45 mass % or more and 0.90 mass % or less, Zn in a range of 0.32 mass % or more and 0.38 mass % or less, Sr in a range of 0.01 mass % or more and 0.05 mass % or less. In the alloy structure of the aluminum alloy substrate, an average particle diameter of Si particles is 2 μm or less, the film thickness of the NiP type plating film is 7 μm or more. An outer diameter of the magnetic recording medium substrate is 53 mm or more, the thickness is 0.9 mm or less, and the Young's modulus is 79 GPa or more.

Claims (11)

1. A magnetic recording medium substrate in which a NiP plating film is formed on a surface of an aluminum alloy substrate,

wherein the aluminum alloy substrate includes Si in a range of 9.5 mass % or more and 11.0 mass % or less, Mn in a range of 0.45 mass % or more and 0.90 mass % or less, Zn in a range of 0.32 mass % or more and 0.38 mass % or less, Sr in a range of 0.01 mass % or more and 0.05 mass % or less,

wherein an average particle diameter of Si particles in an alloy structure of the aluminum alloy substrate is 2 μm or less,

wherein film thickness of the NiP plating film is 7 μm or more, and

wherein an outer diameter of the magnetic recording medium substrate is 53 mm or more, thickness of the magnetic recording medium substrate is 0.9 mm or less, and Young's modulus (E) of the magnetic recording medium substrate is 79 GPa or more.

2. The magnetic recording medium substrate according to claim 1 , wherein, in the aluminum alloy substrate, Mg content is 0.01 mass % or less, or Mg is not included.

3. The magnetic recording medium substrate according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where density is ρ (g/cm 3 ), E/ρ of the magnetic recording medium substrate is 29 GPa*cm 3 /g or more.

4. A hard disk drive that uses the magnetic recording medium substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hard disk drive uses six or more of the magnetic recording medium substrate.

5. The hard disk drive according to claim 4 , wherein the inside of a hard disk drive case of the hard disk drive includes air.

6. The hard disk drive according to claim 4 , wherein the hard disk drive is a 3.5 inch standardized hard disk drive.
