  • adjusting a reduction amount in the caliber of performing the elimination of the raised part suitably, and suppressing the reduction amount of the raised part 82b cause the expansion of the inner size of the web part 82 with the elimination of the raised part 82b to be suppressed, which realizes the maintaining of the rolling stability.
  • the caliber in the rolling and shaping in the first pass, is designed so that the inner surfaces 80a of the flange parts 80 and inner surfaces of the rolls are brought into contact with each other when a roll gap including variations of the raised part 82b in the longitudinal direction is evaluated to set the first pass with respect to such a roll gap as to indicate its minimum value (namely, a roll gap obtained by matching a roll gap of the web part to a height of the raised part 82b).
  • the first pass is set with respect to the roll gap obtained by actually matching the roll gap of the web part to the height of the raised part 82b using such a caliber, thereby enabling secure forming of the inner surfaces 80a of the flange parts 80, which realizes the maintaining of the rolling stability.
  • a contact state of the flange inner surface can also be controlled by setting the pass schedule to partially perform the elimination of the raised part.
  • the rolling and shaping of eliminating the raised part is performed in a plurality of passes, taking a reduction amount per one pass too much causes the spread of the web inner size due to the elimination (reduction) of the raised part 82b, which makes it difficult that the inner surfaces 80a of the flange parts 80 are brought into contact with the rolls, to be likely to impair the rolling stability.
  • limitation is imposed on the reduction amount of the raised part 82b, thereby enabling the secure forming of the inner surfaces 80a of the flange parts 80, which realizes the maintaining of the rolling stability.
  • the elimination of the raised part is partially performed, the elimination of the remaining raised part is preferably performed in an optional caliber at a subsequent stage.
  • the reduction and elimination of the remaining raised part may be performed by universal rolling in the intermediate universal rolling mill 5 (refer to FIG. 1 ) in which an intermediate rolling step is performed.
  • Tables 3, 4 are examples of pass schedules when the formation and the elimination of the raised part 82b are performed by using the above explained fifth caliber K5 and sixth caliber K6, and Table 3 indicates a conventional pass schedule and Table 4 indicates a pass schedule according to the present invention. Note that the respective calibers K5 and K6 described in Tables 3, 4 correspond to the fifth caliber K5 and the sixth caliber K6 according to the present embodiment.
  • the raised part 82b is eliminated completely in a first pass in the sixth caliber K6 (fourteenth pass), resulting in that a web end part thickness and a web projection (raised part) thickness are equal to each other (100.0 mm), while in the pass schedule according to the present invention, a state where the raised part 82b remains without complete elimination of the raised part 82b (150.0 mm) is seen. Adopting such a pass schedule makes it possible to suppress the inner size expansion of the web part 82 with the elimination of the raised part 82b, which realizes the maintaining of the rolling stability.
  • FIG. 10 are schematic views based on simulations indicating shapes of the materials to be rolled after eliminating the respective raised parts in the above pass schedules in Table 3 and Table 4, and (a) is a schematic view in the conventional pass schedule and (b) is a schematic view in the pass schedule according to the present invention.
  • the raised part 82b is formed at the middle of the web part 82 of the material to be rolled A, and the formed raised part 82b is eliminated in the sixth caliber K6 at a subsequent stage. Then, the widening rolling of the web inner size is performed as needed after the elimination of the raised part, to thereby shape the H-shaped raw blank, and in order to produce a large-size H-shaped steel product having a larger flange width as compared with the conventional one, the flange width of the H-shaped raw blank is also desired to be made as large as possible.
  • the present inventors found out that, by changing the width length W1 of the raised part 82b formed in the fifth caliber K5 (namely, the escaping amount of the web inner size in the rolling and shaping in the fifth caliber K5), there is generated a difference in the flange width of the finally obtained H-shaped raw blank.
  • This is attributed to the fact that the flange thickness amount is more easily ensured with an increase in width length of the raised part 82b, but, on the other hand, the flange width decreases by the drawing action in the longitudinal direction of the material to be rolled A at the time of the subsequent elimination of the raised part.
  • the present inventors focused attention on the relation between the escaping percentage and the increase/decrease of the flange width after the shaping of the H-shaped raw blank, and derived the preferable numerical value range of the escaping percentage.
  • FIG. 11 is a graph indicating the relation between the escaping percentage and the flange width increase/decrease rate after the shaping of the H-shaped raw blank.
  • the flange width increase/decrease rate in FIG. 11 is a value indicating the flange width in the case where the escaping percentage is each value (12% to 56%) using the flange width in the case of the escaping percentage of 0% as a reference (1.000).
  • the flange width of the H-shaped raw blank tends to increase with an increase in the escaping percentage, and the flange width increase/decrease indicates an almost fixed value (refer to a broken line part in the graph) in a region where the escaping percentage is about 25% or more.
  • the numerical value range of the escaping percentage is desirably set to 25% to 50%.
  • the numerical value range of the escaping percentage when forming the raised part 82b is desirably set to 25% to 50%, and meanwhile, there is a need to further conduct a study regarding a value of a thickness of the reduced portions 82a of the web when forming the raised part 82b at the escaping percentage in such a numerical value range.
  • the present inventors conducted evaluation regarding shaping property (rolling stability) under conditions where a web reduction amount was changed during rolling and shaping in the fifth caliber K5 at a time of performing rolling and shaping using the first caliber K1 to the sixth caliber K6 according to the present embodiment in a case of producing H-shaped steel with a product flange width of 400 mm or more by using a rectangular cross-section slab of 2000 ⁇ 300 mm as a raw material.
  • cases where thicknesses after reduction of the reduced portions 82a were set to 200 mm, 160 mm, 140 mm, 120 mm, and 100 mm, were set to levels 1 to 5, respectively.
  • a comparative level a case where the web thickness reduction is performed without forming the raised part 82b, was set to a level 6.
  • Table 5 to be shown below indicates pass schedules of the aforementioned level 1 to level 6, and respective calibers G1, G2-2, G3-1, G3-2, G4-1, and G4-2 in Table correspond to the first caliber K1 to the sixth caliber K6 described in the present embodiment. Further, the evaluation of the shaping property is described in the lowest column in Table 5, in which a case where the poor material passage and the defective shape occurred is evaluated as "bad", and a case where the poor material passage and the defective shape did not occur is evaluated as "good”.
  • evaluation criteria of the shaping property (rolling stability) will be described.
  • the evaluation of the shaping property is performed based on warpage which occurs in the longitudinal direction of the material to be rolled A when performing the rolling and shaping of eliminating the raised part 82b.
  • FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram regarding warpage of the material to be rolled A, and is a schematic side view when warpage occurred in an end part in the longitudinal direction of the material to be rolled A.
  • a difference between an end part and a steady part when the warpage occurred in the end part in the longitudinal direction of the material to be rolled A is defined as a "warpage amount”.
  • a ratio of the generated warpage amount to the length in the longitudinal direction of the material to be rolled A in which the warpage occurred is set to "warpage (%)" defined by the following formula (2).
  • Warpage % warpage amount / length of material to be rolled in which warpage occurred
  • FIG. 13 is a graph illustrating the relation between warpage and a web thickness (thickness after reduction of the reduced portions 82a). Note that the graph illustrated in FIG. 13 indicates data under a condition in which the escaping percentage was set to about 33%.
  • the smaller the thickness after reduction of the reduced portions 82a the larger the warpage.
  • the warpage is small to be about 3% or less, and when the thickness after reduction of the reduced portions 82a exceeds 140 mm, the warpage is increased to be about 10% or more, and the shape deteriorates significantly.
  • the reason why the threshold regarding the warpage is set to 10% is because when the maximum warpage amount of about several hundreds of millimeters occurs at a percentage of 10% with respect to several meters of the end part of the material to be rolled, a difference in upper and lower thickness amounts is generated, which can be easily confirmed by a person skilled in the art, and a value at which it is apparent that the rolling becomes difficult to be continued in terms of operation is 10%.
  • thinning reduction of the web may be performed to make the web thickness thinner in the sixth caliber K6 at a subsequent stage.
  • FIG. 14 is a graph illustrating the relation between the thickness after reduction (finished web thickness after reduction) of the reduced portions 82a in the fifth caliber K5 and a height of the raised part 82b before reducing.
  • "escaping percentage" described above while referring to FIG. 11 is set under a suitable condition (for example, 25% to 50%)
  • the drawing action in the longitudinal direction of the raised part 82b is small, and unless limitation is imposed on the height of the raised part by the caliber, the height of the raised part remains a slab thickness of the raw material.
  • the caliber when the caliber is provided with the slab thickness of 300 mm and the height of the raised part 82b at a sufficient height, the height of the raised part remains 300 mm. From the above state, when the raised part 82b was eliminated in the raised part eliminating caliber (the sixth caliber K6 in FIG. 7 ), a case where the finished web thickness after reduction in the fifth caliber K5 was 140 mm had no problem in the material passage property, but the poor material passage occurred in a case where it is 130 mm.
  • the thickness of the raised part 82b is 300 mm in each of the above cases, and the drawing of the raised part 82b is 2.14 owing to reduction from 300 mm to 140 mm in the case of 140 mm, and it is 2.31 owing to reduction from 300 mm to 130 mm in the case of 130 mm.
  • a limiting drawing indicating a threshold in the poor material passage is about 2.1 in each of the cases as illustrated in FIG. 14 .
  • the technique of performing the shaping of the material to be rolled A using four calibers of the first caliber K1 to the fourth caliber K4, and thereafter performing the rolling and shaping of the H-shaped raw blank using the fifth caliber K5, the sixth caliber K6 (and the widening rolling calibers as needed) is explained in the above embodiment, but, the number of calibers for performing the rough rolling step is not limited to this, and the rolling and shaping step illustrated in the first caliber K1 to the fourth caliber K4 may be implemented using more calibers. That is, the caliber configuration indicated in the above embodiment is one example, and the number of calibers engraved on the sizing mill 3 and the rough rolling mill 4 can be changed arbitrarily and is changed appropriately to the extent that the rough rolling step can be suitably implemented.
  • the shaping method of creating splits in the upper and lower end parts (slab end surfaces) of the material to be rolled A and performing processing of bending to right and left the respective portions separated to right and left by the splits to form the flange parts 80 in the first caliber K1 to the fourth caliber K4 is explained.
  • the rolling and shaping technique in the sixth caliber K6 according to the present invention is applicable not only to the material to be rolled A shaped by such a technique but also, for example, to a conventional H-shaped raw blank (so-called dog-bone material) represented by Patent Document 1.
  • the present invention is applicable to a production method for producing H-shaped steel using, for example, a slab having a rectangular cross section or the like as a raw material.
