Layer Separation and Corrosion Detection Algorithms for Reliability Analyzes of HDD Head Stack

Published: 06 June 2022 Publication History

Abstract

In this work, an algorithm to separate layer and detect corrosion using a combination of image analysis and machine learning techniques are proposed for reliability testing of hard disk head stack. This algorithm takes a raw image captured from stress tested sample as an input image, separates the head stack layers and detects corrosion in each layer automatically. The proposed algorithm offers takes 0.5 seconds to process each sample which is 73.73% improvement over existing algorithm used by the factory while offer similar detection accuracy. The elapsed time improvement come from the fact that the proposed algorithm does not require a worker to manually create a template for each testing lot of each head stack model.
