Problems solved by technology

[0022] However, the JIS5086 alloy used in the past and the aluminum alloy substrates for magnetic disks described in Patent Documents 1 to 4 do not cause any problems in the sputtering of magnetic materials at a temperature below 300°C, but if the sputtering of magnetic materials at 500°C Sputtering, there are problems such as deformation of the substrate, deterioration of flatness, or roughening of the plated surface due to coarsening of crystal grains.

Abstract

The invention provides an aluminum alloy substrate used for magnetic discs, and a method of manufacturing the same. Even if an aluminum alloy substrate is heated to be as high as 500 DEG C, worsening of smoothness and thickening of crystalline grains are prevented. The aluminum alloy substrate comprises 3.5% to 6% by mass of Mg, balance being Al and unavoidable impurities. The variable quantity of the smoothness of the aluminum alloy substrate before and after heating within 10 seconds at a tempetature of 500 DEG C is below 5um, and the variable quantity of the average grain diameter of the aluminum alloy substrate before and after heating within 10 seconds at a tempetature of 500 DEG C is below 10um. According to the method of manufacturing the aluminum alloy substrate used for magnetic discs, pack annealing of the aluminum alloy substrate used for magnetic discs includes the steps of holding the substrate for more than two hours at a temperature of more than 350 DEG C under a condition that the temperature rises into over 350 DEG C at a speed of 2 DEG C per minute, and cooling at a cooling speed of below 2 DEG C per minute.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an aluminum alloy substrate for a magnetic disk and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] A magnetic disk used as a recording medium of a computer or the like is formed by attaching a magnetic film to a nonmagnetic substrate. Generally, the substrate is required to be lightweight, have high rigidity, and have a smooth surface. Therefore, an aluminum alloy plate is used for reasons such as being non-magnetic, lightweight, and easy to obtain a smooth surface through mirror processing, etc., and formed on its surface. Used to obtain a rigid Ni-P coating to a thickness of about 10 μm, which becomes a substrate for a magnetic disk. [0003] Conventionally, as such an aluminum alloy plate, the 5086 alloy (Al-Mg alloy) stipulated in JISH4000 can be used because it has sufficient strength required for impact resistance for hard disk drives and can obtain sufficient surface smoothness. . [0004] In addition, ...
