Abstract

A magnetic hard disk substrate is produced by rotating an aluminum substrate or a glass substrate, supplying polishing slurry on its surface, pressing a polishing tape on the surface and running it in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the substrate. Texturing marks are formed with a line density greater than 70 lines/μm in the radial direction on the surface. The polishing slurry has abrading particles dispersed in a dispersant. The abrading particles may be monocrystalline diamond particles, polycrystalline diamond particles or cluster particles with such monocrystalline and polycrystalline diamond particles with diameters in the range of 1-50 nm. Agglomerated particles of such cluster particles that are agglomerated in the dispersant may also be included as the abrading particles.
