GLASS SUBSTRATE FOR MAGNETIC DISK AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING GLASS SUBSTRATE FOR MAGNETIC DISK

摘要

A method for manufacturing a glass substrate for magnetic disk is provided. The method includes a forming process of press-forming a lump of molten glass using a pair of dies, wherein in the forming process, the cooling rate of the molten glass during pressing is controlled so that a first compressive stress layer is formed on a pair of principal faces of a glass blank that is press formed, and the method includes a chemically strengthening process for forming a second compressive stress layer on a pair of principal faces of a glass substrate formed using the glass blank after the forming process.
