Abstract
The present invention discloses a rigid magnetic recording disk and a method of making the same. The substrate is formed by metallurgically bonding at least a first and second layer of clad materials. The hardness and mechanical strength of the first layer is substantially greater than the second layer. The first layer has a thickness which is from about 0.2% to about 20% the thickness of the second layer. The unbonded surface of the first layer is substantially flat and asperity free. The second layer is less dense than the first layer. A magnetic layer is deposited on the unbonded surface of the first layer.
