Abstract

An improved magnetic recording disc comprising: a substrate member of an alumina-based ceramic material having micropores of 5 .mu.m or below and having a relative theoretical density of 90% or higher; a glass coating layer of a thickness of 3 to 200 .mu.m with a surface roughness (R.sub.z) of 180 angstroms or below, and being free from micropores and strain; a magnetic thin film formed on the surface of the glass coating layer; and a protective film formed thereon. A process for production of the magnetic recording disc comprises: forming a glass coating layer to a thickness of 5 to 220 .mu.m on the surface of an alumina-based ceramic substrate having micropores of 5 .mu.m or below and a relative theoretical density of at least 90%; then subjecting the glass coating layer to mechanochemical polishing to a layer thickness of 3 to 200 .mu.m, to make free from micropores and strain, and to have a surface roughness (R.sub.z) of 180 angstroms or below; and further coating the surface of the glass coating layer with a magnetic thin film and a protective film.
