Abstract
Abstract Titanium magnetic disk substrates are manufactured by preparing a base by stripping not less than 5 μm from the surface layer of a titanium cold-rolled plate, and then forming a film of not less than 5 μm consisting of 1 or more non-magnetic transition metal elements belonging to Groups IVA, VA, VIA, VIIA and VIIIA of the Periodic Table, on the surface of this base.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
A method of manufacturing titanium magnetic disk substrates comprising steps of: preparing a base by removing not less than 5 μm from the surface layer of a titanium cold-rolled plate, and forming a film of not less than 5 μm consisting essentially of 1 or more non-magnetic transition metal elements belonging to Groups IVA, VA, VIA, VIIA and VIIIA of the Periodic Table, on the surface of the base.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
69 words
A method of manufacturing titanium magnetic disk substrates comprising steps of: preparing a base by removing not less than 5 μm from the surface layer of a titanium cold-rolled plate, and forming a film of not less than 5 μm consisting essentially of 1 or more non-magnetic transition metal elements belonging to Groups IVA, VA, VIA, VIIA and VIIIA of the Periodic Table, on the surface of the base.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method of manufacturing titanium magnetic disk substrates according to claim 1, wherein said film is formed by ion plating, sputtering, vacuum deposition or CVD.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method of manufacturing titanium magnetic disk substrates according to claim 1, wherein the removal of the surface layer of the titanium cold-rolled plate in said process for preparing a base is effected by pickling, cutting or grinding.
