摘要:
A polishing system and a method are presented for uniformly polishing efficiently at a fast rate the surface of a tape-like metallic base material of several hundred meters in length. The polishing system is provided not only with devices for causing the base material to travel continuously and applying a specified tension in the base material but also with a first polishing device for randomly polishing the target surface and a second polishing device for carrying out a final polishing on the target surface in the direction of travel of the base material. Polishing marks are formed in the direction of travel on the target surface by the final polishing.
摘要:
A cleaning tape has a base tape made of a synthetic resin and a cleaning layer formed on a surface of this base tape. The cleaning layer has a binding agent and a large number of spherical particles dispersed in the binding agent in a single particle layer. Such a cleaning tape is capable of removing very small unwanted protrusions and particles on the surface of a target object such as a magnetic hard disk without forming scratches.
摘要:
Texturing slurry for texturing a substrate for a magnetic hard disk is obtained by dispersing abrading particles of a specified kind in a specified kind of dispersant. The abrading particles include diamond clusters formed with artificial diamond particles with primary particle diameter of 20 nm or less and surrounded by impurities containing chlorine at a certain ratio. The cluster diameter and the average cluster diameter of the diamond clusters are each within a specified range. For texturing a substrate surface, the substrate is rotated, texturing slurry of this invention is supplied to the surface and a texturing tape of a specified kind is pressed against the substrate surface while it is caused to run.
摘要:
Diamond clusters are used as a polishing material of free abrading particles, each being a combination of artificial diamond particles having primary particle diameters of 20 nm or less and impurities that are attached around these diamond particles. The density of non-diamond carbon contained in the impurities is in the range of 95% or more and 99% or less, and the density of chlorine contained in other than non-diamond carbon in the impurities is 0.5% or more and preferably 3.5% or less. The diameters of these diamond clusters are in the range of 30 nm or more and 500 nm or less, and their average diameter is in the range of 30 nm or more and 200 nm or less. Such polishing material is produced first by an explosion shock method to obtain diamond clusters and then removing the impurities such that density of non-diamond carbon contained in the impurities and density of chlorine contained in other than non-diamond carbon in the impurities become adjusted.

摘要:
A polishing cloth has a surface layer stacked over a base material. The surface layer is made of a foamed layer and a non-foamed layer, the foamed layer including air bubble cells and the non-foamed layer having an externally exposed surface where linear cuts are formed. These linear cuts reach the air bubble cells such that the air bubble cells communicate with the exterior through the linear cuts. These linear cuts are controlled to be 10 μm or less in length.
摘要:
A foamed polishing sheet for use in a free particle polishing method using abrading particles with average particle diameter less than 0.1 μm is produced by applying a foaming paint of a foaming resin on a surface of a form-providing film such as a plastic film, foaming the foaming paint by a wet foaming method to form a foamed sheet on the surface of the form-providing film, and peeling off the foamed sheet from the form-providing film so as to form a polishing surface on the foamed sheet having the same shape as the surface of the form-providing film.
摘要:
An oxide superconductor member is composed of a tape-shaped substrate, an intermediate layer formed on this substrate and an oxide superconductor thin film layer formed on this intermediate layer. A surface of the tape-shaped substrate is polished by continuously running the tape-shaped substrate. The polishing step includes initial polishing process and finishing process which are carried out such that the average surface roughness Ra of the substrate becomes 2 nanometers or less and the in-plane directionality of the intermediate layer becomes 5° or less after the polishing step.

摘要:
A target surface of a tape-shaped substrate of an oxide superconductor with an intermediate layer formed on this target surface and an oxide superconductor thin film is polished by causing the tape-shaped substrate to continuously run. The polishing step includes an initial polishing process for carrying out random polishing of the target surface and a finishing process that is carried out after the initial polishing process for forming grooves on the target surface along the running direction of the substrate. The intermediate layer has an in-plane directionality of 7° or less. The tape-shaped substrate is fabricated by rolling nickel, a nickel alloys or stainless steel.
