がある。[Prior Art] Conventionally, in the rolling manufacturing method of Z-shaped steel sheet piles, a steel ingot heated in a soaking furnace or the like is subjected to about 10 passes of blooming in a blooming mill 11 of a rolling mill row shown in FIG. The shaped square steel piece 21 (see FIG. 3) with a rectangular cross section is rolled by each roll hole mold 23 to 32 (FIG. 3(B) to (K)), and the final roll hole mold 33 (FIG. 3(L)) is rolled. )) by Z
A shaped steel sheet pile 34 is obtained. The dotted line in FIG. 3(A) indicates the groove 23 before rolling. The shaped square steel piece 21 is rolled to a predetermined thickness by repeating rolling several times in a groove 23 shown by dotted lines in FIG. In this rolling, an overhang occurs between the upper and lower holes due to the reduction of the rolled material, so if two or three passes of reduction in the thickness direction are performed, it is necessary to rotate the rolled material by 90 degrees and perform an edging pass.

Rotate once to return to the position before edging rolling, and then roll again. In this manner, rolling in the thickness direction and edging rolling are repeated in the groove 23, and a predetermined shape is obtained by a total of 10 to 20 passes. Next, rolling is carried out using the groove 24 shown in FIG.
With this hole mold 24, a rough-shaped steel piece 25 for Z-shaped steel sheet piles is obtained. The rough-shaped steel billet 25 has a final cross-sectional shape in the blooming mill 11, and this rough-shaped steel billet 25 requires cleaning of the steel ingot and defects generated during blooming, and is then processed as shown in FIG. It is reheated in a heating furnace 12 and sent to a group of shape steel rolling mills. The section steel rolling mill group includes a rough rolling mill 13, an intermediate rolling mill 14, and a finishing mill 15. A Z-shaped steel sheet pile 34 is formed by passing the rolled material through each of the roll holes 26 to 33 using the rolling mill group.

。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, among the methods for rolling the Z-shaped steel sheet piles 34 as described above, there are various rolling methods for obtaining the rough-shaped steel slabs 25 from the steel ingot by blooming rolling. There's a problem. (a) During blooming rolling, the shaping pass, edging pass, and rotating work of the shaped square steel billet 21 have a large load, and the rolling efficiency is low. (b) During blooming rolling, the rolling reduction from the shaped square steel piece 21 is large and the degree of deformation is also large, so that the material is likely to be twisted or bent during rolling, and misrolls may also occur. (c) During blooming rolling, the degree of deformation is large, so many flaws occur, and the rough shaped steel pieces need to be maintained. (d) It is necessary to heat the steel again before rolling it in the section steel rolling mill groups 13, 14, and 15. (e) In relation to the above problems, the yield from steel ingots is low.

The inside tip of one side of one flange of this H-shaped slab forms a steep slope, the inside tip of one side of the other flange forms a gentle slope, and the inside tip of the other side of the one flange forms a steep slope. H
One side of one flange of the cast piece is rolled down so that pressure is applied in the width direction from the inside of its tip, and the inside of the other flange is rolled down so that the thickness increases inside the tip. Further, the other side of one flange is rolled down so as to increase the thickness inside its tip, and the other side of the other flange is rolled down so that pressure is applied from the inside of its tip in the width direction. Therefore, metal flows in opposite width directions occur on the mutually opposing surfaces of the web, and deformation into an asymmetrical steel piece 44 close to a Z shape progresses smoothly.

The method of rough rolling a rough-shaped steel slab for Z-shaped steel sheet piles according to the present invention uses an H-shaped slab continuously cast as a raw material, as shown in FIG. In Fig. 1, 41 is an H-shaped slab, 42 and 43 are flanges of the H-shaped slab, and 44 is a web.
The pair of flanges 42 and 43 are connected to form an H shape. 1 and 1a are hole shapes cut into the upper and lower rolls, respectively.

、3aを有している。[0010] The hole shape 1 is steeply inclined toward the inside of one end portion 43a of one flange 43 of the H-shaped slab 41;
Similarly, the H-shaped slab 41 has grooves 2 and 3 that are gently sloped toward the inside of the tip 42a on one side of the other flange 42. Further, the hole shape 1a forms a gentle slope with respect to the inner side of the other side tip 43b of one flange 43 of the H-shaped slab 41, and is also formed on the inside of the other side tip 42b of the other flange 42 of the H-shaped slab 41. The groove 2a has a shape that is steeply sloped against the groove 2a.

The tip portion 42a is rolled down so that the thickness increases on the inside thereof. Also, the other side tip portion 43b of one flange 43
is rolled down so as to increase its thickness on the inside thereof, and the other side tip 42b of the other flange 42 is rolled down so that pressure is applied from the inside in the width direction.
