Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a glass composition, particularly a glass composition suitable for crystallized glass. More specifically, it relates to the composition of a crystallized glass magnetic disk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a substrate for a magnetic disk,
Aluminum substrates and glass substrates have been put to practical use.
Among them, a glass substrate has received the most attention because of its excellent surface smoothness and mechanical strength. As such a glass substrate, a chemically strengthened glass substrate in which the surface of the glass substrate is strengthened by ion exchange, and a crystallized glass substrate in which a crystal component is precipitated on the substrate to strengthen the bond are known.

[0003]

By the way, the recent demand for the performance of the substrate is becoming stricter day by day.
In particular, there is a demand for an improvement in performance with respect to strength directly related to deflection and warpage during high-speed rotation. This can be represented by the specific elastic modulus (= Young's modulus / specific gravity) of the substrate material, and the higher the numerical value, the more desirable. Further, there is a demand for improvement in productivity while satisfying such requirements.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a composition with improved specific elastic modulus of glass and higher productivity.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 provides a composition range of a main component,
SiO ₂ is 65 wt% or more and 80 wt% or less, A
l ₂ O ₃ is and 15 wt% or less at 3 wt% or more, Li ₂
O is 3 wt% or more and 15 wt% or less, P ₂ O ₅ is 0.2 wt% or more and 5 wt% or less, TiO ₂ is 0.1 wt% or more and 10 wt% or less, ZrO ₂ is 0.1 wt% or more. And 3.3 wt% or less.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. In the glass substrate of the embodiment according to the present invention, the composition range of the main component is such that SiO ₂ is 65 wt% or more and 80 wt% or more.
wt% or less, Al ₂ O ₃ is 3 wt% or more and 15 wt%
In the following, Li ₂ O is 3 wt% or more and 15 wt% or less,
P ₂ O ₅ ≧ 0.2 wt% and ≦ 5 wt%, TiO
₂ is 0.1 wt% or more and 10 wt% or less, and ZrO ₂ is 0.1 wt% or more and 3.3 wt% or less.

Since SiO ₂ is a glass-forming oxide, if its composition ratio is less than 65% by weight, its melting property deteriorates and 80 w
If it exceeds t%, the glass will be in a stable state, and it will be difficult for crystals to precipitate.

[0007] Al ₂ O ₃ is a glass intermediate oxide, and is a component of aluminum borate-based crystals that are crystal phases precipitated by heat treatment. If the composition ratio is less than 3 wt%, the number of precipitated crystals is small, and strength cannot be obtained. If the composition ratio is more than 15 wt%, the melting temperature becomes high and the glass tends to be devitrified.

[0008] Li ₂ O plays a role as a flux and is a component of lithium disilicate-based crystals. If the composition ratio is less than 3 wt%, the precipitation of lithium disilicate as a crystal phase becomes insufficient, and if it exceeds 15 wt%, the lithium disilicate in the precipitated crystal phase becomes unstable and crystallization becomes difficult to control. In addition, chemical durability may be reduced and the magnetic film may be affected.
The stability in the washing process is deteriorated.

P ₂ O ₅ is a nucleating agent that functions as a flux and precipitates lithium disilicate-based crystals, and is an important component for uniformly depositing crystals throughout the glass.
If the composition ratio is less than 0.2 wt%, it is difficult to form sufficient crystal nuclei, crystal grains are coarsened or crystals are heterogeneously deposited, and it is difficult to obtain a fine and uniform crystal structure,
In polishing, a smooth surface required as a disk substrate cannot be obtained. Further, the effect as a flux for the hardly-fusible ZrO ₂ component cannot be obtained. If it exceeds 5% by weight, the reactivity with the furnace agent at the time of melting increases, and the devitrification also increases, so that the productivity at the time of melt molding decreases. In addition, the chemical durability may be reduced, which may affect the magnetic film, and the stability in the polishing-cleaning process may be deteriorated.

TiO ₂ is a flux and promotes crystal growth. If the composition ratio is less than 0.1 wt%, the meltability deteriorates, and the crystal growth becomes difficult. If the composition ratio exceeds 10 wt%, crystallization is rapidly promoted, the control of the crystallization state becomes difficult, and the deposited crystals become coarse. , Crystal phase heterogeneity occurs,
A fine and uniform crystal structure cannot be obtained, and a smooth surface required as a disk substrate in polishing cannot be obtained. Further, devitrification tends to occur during melt molding, and productivity is reduced.

ZrO ₂ is a glass-modified oxide and is a crystal nucleating agent for glass. In particular, it is very effective for uniformly depositing a quartz crystal over the entire glass. If the composition ratio is less than 0.1 wt%, it is difficult to form sufficient crystal nuclei, crystal grains are coarsened, crystals are heterogeneously deposited, and a fine and uniform crystal structure cannot be obtained. A smooth surface required as a substrate cannot be obtained. In addition, chemical durability and migration resistance are reduced, which may affect the magnetic film, and the stability in the polishing-cleaning process is deteriorated. Also 3.3w
If it exceeds t%, the melting temperature will be high, and the glass will be easily devitrified, making melt molding difficult. In addition, the precipitated crystal phase changes, making it difficult to obtain desired characteristics.

The manufacturing method will be described below. Raw materials including the composition of the main components of the finally produced glass substrate are sufficiently mixed at a predetermined ratio, and the mixture is put into a platinum crucible and melted. After melting, it is poured into a mold to form a rough shape. This is annealed to room temperature. Subsequently, the temperature is maintained at the indicated primary heat treatment temperature and primary treatment time (heat treatment), and crystal nucleation is performed. Subsequently, the crystal nucleus is grown while maintaining the temperature at the secondary heat treatment and the secondary treatment time. By cooling this, the desired crystallized glass is obtained.

The glass substrate obtained by the above-described manufacturing method has a SiO ₂ content of 65 wt% or more and 80 wt% or less, an Al ₂ O 3 content of ₃ wt% or more and 15 wt% or less,
i ₂ O is 3 wt% or more and 15 wt% or less, P ₂ O ₅ is 0.2 wt% or more and 5 wt% or less, and TiO ₂ is 0.2 wt% or less.
1 wt% or more and 10 wt% or less, ZrO ₂ is 0.1
By setting the content to be not less than wt% and not more than 3.3 wt%, it has become possible to obtain a very high specific modulus and a high productivity.
