Abstract: The heat-treating oil composition of the present invention is characterized by comprising a mixed base oil containing a low-boiling base oil having a 5% distillation temperature of from 300 to 400° C. in an amount of not less than 5% by mass but less than 50% by mass, and a high-boiling base oil having a 5% distillation temperature of 500° C. or higher in an amount of more than 50% by mass but not more than 95% by mass. There is provided a quenching oil composition capable of exhibiting a less fluctuation in hardness or quenching distortion of a metal material treated therewith even when a large number of the metal materials are quenched therewith at the same time.

Abstract: A quenching oil for reduced pressure quenching which comprises a base oil having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 40 mm2/s or more and a vapor blanket breaking agent; and a method for quenching wherein the quenching oil is used and quenching is carried out while adjusting the pressure on the surface of the oil. The method allows the achievement of cooling characteristics over a wide range from those conventionally achieved by a cold oil to those by a hot oil, by the use of a single quenching oil.

Abstract: Provided is a quenching method capable of producing quenched articles having little distortion and having a desired hardness. The quenching method with a coolant is specifically so controlled that the surface of the quenching bath is kept under pressure all the time throughout the step of cooling the articles being processed therein.

Abstract: The invention relates to an article superior in slipping a waterdrop down a surface of the article. The article has a substrate; and a functional layer formed on a surface of the substrate. The functional layer is chemically bonded to the surface of the substrate through siloxane-bonding. The article is prepared by a method including: (a) dissolving in a solvent (1) a silicone that is one of a first silicone having at an end a hydrolyzable functional group and a second silicone having at an end a hydrolyzable functional group and at the other end a fluoroalkyl group, (2) an acid, and (3) water, thereby to prepare a mixed liquid; (b) applying the mixed liquid to the surface of the substrate, thereby to form thereon a precursory layer; and (c) drying the precursory layer into the functional layer. In the preparation of the article, a silica precursor sol is optionally added to the mixed liquid.

Abstract: Novel diphenylmethyl piperazine derivatives of this invention have a chemical structure represented by the following Formula [I]: ##STR1## wherein R represents ##STR2## The compounds have an effect of inhibiting the overcontraction and overextension of the myocardium without being accompanied by a myocardium-inhibiting effect. By using the novel diphenylmethyl piperazine derivatives as an effective ingredient, it is possible to obtain a myocardial necrosis inhibitor which can protect against myocardial necrosis, and a drug for the treatment and prevention of acute myocardial infarction.
