  • Patent number: 7415841
    Abstract: Prior to conducting chemical strengthening treatment by contacting a glass with a potassium-containing chemical strengthening treating solution, oxidation treatment is conducted to iron-containing particles adhered to a surface of the glass as a pre-step, and the glass is then chemically strengthened. The oxidation treatment is a heat treatment conducted at 80-400° C. in the air. A glass substrate for an information recording medium is obtained by the method.
