Zusammenfassung:Hard disk drive components, such as, sliders, load beams, support arms, actuators, actuator bearings, spacers, clamps, spindles, ball bearings, thrust bearings, journal bearings, base plates, housings, and covers, formed of a multi-phase ceramic-based material. One method of making the hard disk drive components includes (a) forming a porous body of ceramic; (b) infiltrating a liquid into the pores of the ceramic body; (c) solidifying the infiltrated liquid; and (d) machining the metal-infiltrated ceramic body to form the hard disk drive component.
