Abstract
A base plate of a stainless-steel body material formed by pressing is polished and cleared of burrs by means of an abrasive material that consists mainly of Fe2O3 in a polishing process. The polished base plate is heated to a heat treatment temperature for solid solution in a reducing atmosphere in a heat treatment process. In this heat treatment process, an oxide in the constituents of minute fragments of the abrasive material in the surface of the body material of the base plate is reduced to leave iron, which is dispersed into the body material.

3. A method for manufacturing an iron component, comprising:
-
a polishing process of polishing the surface of an iron body material having a given shape by means of an abrasive material containing ferric oxide; and
a heat treatment process of heating the body material in a reducing atmosphere after the polishing process, thereby reducing an oxide in the constituents of fragments of the abrasive material in and near the surface of the body material and leaving iron, and keeping the body material at a temperature for dispersion, thereby dispersing the iron into the body material. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5)

6. A hard disc drive comprising:
an iron component including an iron body material formed having a given shape and polished, an oxide in the constituents of fragments of an oxide abrasive material in and near the surface of the body material being reduced so that iron is dispersed into the body material, the iron component being stored in a casing.
