Abstract

Provided is a glass for a magnetic recording medium substrate, which is an amorphous glass, in which an SiO 2 content is in a range of 54 mol % or more and 62 mol % or less, an MgO content is in a range of 15 mol % or more and 28 mol % or less, an Li 2 O content is in a range of 0.2 mol % or more, and an Na 2 O content is in a range of 5 mol % or less.

Claims (22)

1. A glass for a magnetic recording medium substrate or for a glass spacer for a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, which is an amorphous glass,

wherein an SiO 2 content is in a range of 54 mol % or more and 62 mol % or less,

an MgO content is in a range of 15 mol % or more and 28 mol % or less,

an Li 2 O content is in a range of 0.2 mol % or more,

an Na 2 O content is in a range of 5 mol % or less,

a mole ratio of the total content of SiO 2 and MgO relative to the Li 2 O content [(SiO 2 +MgO)/Li 2 O] is 13 or more, as well as

wherein a mole ratio of the total content of Al 2 O 3 and CaO relative to the MgO content [(Al 2 O 3 +CaO)/MgO] is 0.80 or more, and/or

a mole ratio of the MgO content relative to a CaO content (MgO/CaO) is 8 or more.

2. The glass according to claim 1 ,

wherein the total content of SiO 2 , MgO, Li 2 O, Al 2 O 3 , and CaO (SiO 2 +MgO+Li 2 O+Al 2 O 3 +CaO) is 93 mol % or more.

3. A magnetic recording medium substrate comprising the glass according to claim 1 .

4. A magnetic recording medium comprising:

the magnetic recording medium substrate according to claim 3 ; and a magnetic recording layer.

5. A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus comprising the magnetic recording medium according to claim 4 .

6. A magnetic recording medium substrate comprising the glass according to claim 2 .

7. A magnetic recording medium comprising:

the magnetic recording medium substrate according to claim 6 ; and a magnetic recording layer.

8. A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus comprising the magnetic recording medium according to claim 7 .

9. A glass spacer for a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising the glass according to claim 1 .

10. A glass spacer for a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising the glass according to claim 2 .

11. A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus comprising the glass spacer according to claim 9 .

12. A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus comprising the glass spacer according to claim 10 .
