Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
In a polishing process comprising polishing the surface of a memory hard disk with a polishing composition applied between the surface of the memory hard disc and the surface of a polishing pad which is slidable on the surface of the memory hard disc, the improvement wherein the surface of the memory hard disc is a non-electrolysis nickel plated surface, an alumite surface, or an aluminum surface, and the polishing composition comprises water, a polishing agent of aluminum oxide, and a polishing accelerator of aluminum nitrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
In a polishing process comprising polishing the surface of a memory hard disk with a polishing composition applied between the surface of the memory hard disc and the surface of a polishing pad which is slidable on the surface of the memory hard disc, the improvement wherein the surface of the memory hard disc is a non-electrolysis nickel plated surface, an alumite surface, or an aluminum surface, and the polishing composition comprises water, a polishing agent of aluminum oxide, and a polishing accelerator of aluminum nitrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A polishing process as set forth in claim 1, wherein the polishing composition contains 1-20% by weight of the polishing accelerator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A polishing process as set forth in claim 2, wherein the polishing composition contains 2-30% by weight of the polishing agent, and the polishing agent has a mean particle size of 0.7-4.0 μm and a maximum particle size of 20 μm or less.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
