  • Publication number: 20210009473
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a SiC—Si composite component. The method includes preparing a first molded body containing SiC particles by a 3D printing method, wherein the first molded body has a first average pore diameter M1; forming a second molded body, in which the first molded body and a dispersion containing carbon particles are brought into contact so that the pores are impregnated with the carbon particles, wherein the carbon particles have a secondary particle having an average particle diameter M2, and the carbon particles satisfy the following formula: M2?M1/10; and forming a SiC—Si composite component by carrying out that the second molded body is impregnated with a metallic Si and is reactively sintered; wherein the content of Si is in the range of 5% by mass to 40% by mass in the SiC—Si composite component.

  • Patent number: 8783063
    Abstract: A glass substrate for a magnetic disk of the invention is a disk-shaped glass substrate for a magnetic disk where the substrate has a main surface and end face and is subjected to chemical reinforcement treatment, and is characterized in that the penetration length in the uppermost-portion stress layer on the main surface is 49.1 ?m or less, and that assuming that an angle between the main surface and compressive stress in the stress profile by a Babinet compensator method is ?, a value y of {12·t·ln(tan ?)+(49.1/t)} is the penetration length in the uppermost-portion stress layer or less.

  • Patent number: 8413464
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a glass substrate for a magnetic disk in which the occurrence of micro-waviness on the glass substrate is prevented in a cooling step after a chemically strengthening step so that the glass substrate has a significantly smooth principal surface, and provides a method for producing a magnetic disk in which head crash, thermal asperity failures, and the like are prevented, the flying height of a magnetic head can be decreased, and high-density recording is enabled.

  • Publication number: 20110117822
    Abstract: Dressing treatment of a polishing pad, adjusting a polishing surface of the polishing pad to given flatness and surface roughness without deteriorating productivity, a method for polishing a glass substrate, including polishing a main surface of a glass substrate using the polishing pad adjusted by the dressing treatment, and a method for manufacturing a glass substrate using the polishing method are provided. A dressing jig having arithmetic surface roughness on a surface performing dressing treatment of from 0.10 ?m to 2.5 ?m is used as the dressing jig for adjusting a polishing surface of the polishing pad to given flatness and surface roughness. A main surface of the glass substrate is polished with the polishing surface of the polishing pad having been subjected to a dressing treatment using the dressing jig.
