Method of rolling H-beams.

摘要

A method of producing H-beams is carried out by rolling a rough rolled steel billet having a web and flanges by a universal finishing mill having a pair of vertical rolls embracing the flanges of the billet on both sides and a pair of horizontal rolls having widths less than those in the rough rolling and embracing the web on upper and lower sides to reduce the web width and thicknesses of the flanges of the billet and to correct inclination of the flanges, thereby reducing and adjusting an inner web width of the H-beam. The billet is finish-rolled in the state that the axes of the pair of vertical rolls are shifted onto the downstream side of the axes of the pair of horizontal rolls into an area including a zone where the web width and the thicknesses of the flanges are simultaneously reduced. In another aspect, the billet is rolled by the universal finishing mill whose the pair of vertical rolls are positively driven.
