Abstract

A magnetic-disk substrate according to an embodiment includes two main surfaces and an outer circumferential edge surface. In the magnetic-disk substrate, the outer circumferential edge surface includes two chamfered surfaces that are respectively connected to the main surfaces, and a side wall surface that is curved and extends to protrude outward between the two chamfered surfaces. The side wall surface has a radius of curvature of 1100 μm or more on a cross-section of the magnetic-disk substrate extending along a plate thickness direction of the magnetic-disk substrate.

Claims (48)

3. The magnetic-disk substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein a length in a direction parallel to the main surface between a connection position at which the chamfered surface is connected to the main surface and a position at which the side wall surface protrudes most outward is 100 μm or less.

4. The magnetic-disk substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein the chamfered surface is curved to protrude outward, and

the chamfered surface has a radius of curvature that is smaller than the radius of curvature of the side wall surface, on a cross-section of the magnetic-disk substrate extending along the plate thickness direction of the magnetic-disk substrate.

5. The magnetic-disk substrate according to claim 4 ,

wherein the chamfered surface has a radius of curvature of 100 to 1000 μm.

6. The magnetic-disk substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein a connection region of the chamfered surface located on the connection position side where the chamfered surface is connected to the main surface is inclined at an angle of 30 to 70 degrees with respect to a direction parallel to the main surface, on a cross-section of the magnetic-disk substrate extending along the plate thickness direction of the magnetic-disk substrate.

7. The magnetic-disk substrate according to claim 1 ,

wherein a boundary portion between the chamfered surface and the side wall surface is rounded on a cross-section of the magnetic-disk substrate extending along the plate thickness direction of the magnetic-disk substrate.

8. The magnetic-disk substrate according to claim 1 ,
