Abstract
Abstract A substrate for a magnetic recording disk, made of anodized aluminum having its pores packed with a non magnetic material and having been subjected to polishing followed by an etching treatment to form a finely roughened surface due to preferential etching of either the aluminum or the non magnetic material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A substrate for a magnetic disk, comprising an anodized aluminum layer having pores packed with a non-magnetic material having a different etching rate from that of the anodized aluminum layer and subjecting to polishing and etching treatment to form a finely roughened surface having a depth in the range of 50 to 5,000 Å due to the difference in the etching rate of the anodized aluminum layer and said non-magnetic material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
A substrate for a magnetic disk, comprising an anodized aluminum layer having pores packed with a non-magnetic material having a different etching rate from that of the anodized aluminum layer and subjecting to polishing and etching treatment to form a finely roughened surface having a depth in the range of 50 to 5,000 Å due to the difference in the etching rate of the anodized aluminum layer and said non-magnetic material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
85 words
A process for producing a magnetic disk, which comprises: (a) packing pores of an anodized aluminum layer of a substrate with a material having a different etching rate from that of the anodized aluminum layer, (b) polishing a surface of the anodized layer and (c) subjecting the polished surface to etching treatment to have the packed material protruded or recessed from the surface of the anodized aluminum layer, thereby providing a finely roughened surface having a depth in the range of 50 to 5000 Å.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
85 words
A process for producing a magnetic disk, which comprises: (a) packing pores of an anodized aluminum layer of a substrate with a material having a different etching rate from that of the anodized aluminum layer, (b) polishing a surface of the anodized layer and (c) subjecting the polished surface to etching treatment to have the packed material protruded or recessed from the surface of the anodized aluminum layer, thereby providing a finely roughened surface having a depth in the range of 50 to 5000 Å.
