Abstract
Abstract According to a mirror surface polishing process of the present invention, it is possible to produce Ti-made magnetic disc substrate which have the excellent flatness degree and surface roughness in that the average roughness is not more than 0.05 μm and the flatness degree of the outer periphery is not more than 0.15 μm.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A method of polishing a circular shaped titanium magnetic disk, comprising the steps of rough abrading at least one surface of the disk using a grinding wheel having a roughness of between 400 to 4,000 mesh, and an abrasion solution comprising alumina of 38 cm 3 and having a grain diameter of not more than 2 μm, and hydrogen peroxide of 200 ml; finish polishing the at least one surface using an abrasion cloth and controlling pressure on the at least one surface to be between 10 to 100 g/cm 2 ; and controlling the processing time to be between 5 and 60 minutes so as to produce an average surface roughness of not more than 0.05 μm, and a flatness, as measured between 40 mm to 46 mm from a center point of said disk, of not more than 0.15 μm.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
