  • Patent number: 6048466
    Abstract: To propose a method of cleaning a surface of a glass substrate fabricated by a process of strengthening a surface thereof by alkaline ion exchange reaction by selectively removing alkaline metal on the surface by cleaning the surface by using an activated ionic water produced by electric polarization and as a result, to provide a glass substrate for a magnetic disk having a magnetic medium with insignificant corrosion and excellent S/N ratio, in cleaning a glass substrate for a magnetic disk using a glass substrate pulled up from a chemically strengthening treatment solution produced by an alkaline ion exchange reaction, after a final polishing step of fabricating the glass substrate for a magnetic disk, the glass substrate is cleaned by an activated anodically electrolyzed water produced by electric polarization to thereby selectively remove the alkaline metal at the vicinity of the surface.
