  • Patent number: 5009726
    Abstract: The present invention is to produce non-oriented silicon steel sheets having excellent magnetic properties in dependence upon a hot direct rolling, wherein the slab is directly sent to the direct rolling without maintaining the heat and soaking, whereby others than AlN precipitated during hot rolling check the precipitation of AlN, and a delay time is taken between the roughing and the finish rolling so that precipitating nuclei of AlN are introduced into the steel, and uniform and coarse AlN precipitation is formed by a subsequent annealing treatment, thereby to enable to provide uniform and satisfied ferrite grain growth at the recrystallization annealing.

  • Patent number: 5009813
    Abstract: A composition for a hair treatment agent comprising as essential components: a chelating agent having a specific chelating value with respect to the chelation of the calcium ion, and a polymer compound selected from a group consisting of cationic polymers containing quaternary nitrogen, and peptides of an average molecular weight of 40 to 10,000, or their derivatives. The composition provides a perm-treatment with a good finishing effect by depressing absorption of calcium to the hair when it is perm-treated. It also serves as a shampoo, by further formulating an anionic or amphoteric surface active agent, which gives an excellent effect of suppleness and smoothness after washing and rinsing to hair which is damaged from a perm treatment.
