Abstract:
1. A manufacturing method of a glass substrate for a magnetic disk, comprising: polishing a principal face of the glass substrate using a slurry containing zirconium oxide abrasive grains, each of the abrasive grains having zirconium oxide as a principal component, with the zirconium oxide in each of the abrasive grains having crystallites of monoclinic crystalline structures and crystallites of tetragonal crystalline structures as an abrasive, and in each of the zirconium oxide abrasive grains, a ratio of the amount of the tetragonal crystalline structures with respect to the amount of the monoclinic crystalline structures falls in a range of 0.7% to 3.0%, where the ratio is obtained by x-ray diffraction and is defined as a ratio of a peak intensity of the tetragonal crystalline structures with respect to a peak intensity of the monoclinic crystalline structures, and the peak intensity is defined as an integrated peak intensity.
