A four-roller type sizing mill apparatus for forming round steel rods, comprises two four-roller mills each having two pair of facing rollers. One pair of facing rollers is arranged in rolling direction perpendicular to the rolling direction of the other pair of rollers. The two four-roller mills are arranged in line, with the rolling direction of one of the two four-roller mills being shifted by 45.degree. from the rolling direction of the other four-roller mill. The two pair of rollers of a first four-roller mill positioned closer to the rolling material inlet are separated from each other by a distance which is greater than zero and not greater than five times the projected contact length of one of the pair of rollers positioned closer to the rolling material inlet. The distance is measured between a first standard straight line which passes through the centers of one of the pair of rollers and lies on a plane parallel to the side surfaces of the same pair of rollers and a second standard straight line obtained by projecting the axes of the other pair of rollers onto the above-mentioned plane.

Four-roller type sizing mill apparatus for producing round steel rods

A method of producing a steel H-sheet pile from a beam blank of an H-shape cross section, symmetrical in the vertical and lateral directions, and prepared through blooming rolling or continuous casting including a first step wherein a breakdown mill having a preparatory step forming caliber and a forming caliber is used to form the beam blank in such a manner that in the preparatory step forming caliber the beam blank is changed into an asymmetrical shape in the vertical direction and subsequently, in the forming caliber, the beam blank is rolled to have a socket and projections; a second step wherein a group of roughing universal mills is used to roll the beam blank in such a manner that in a roughing universal mill mainly the web and flanges are reduced in thickness while in a sizing universal mill the outer surfaces of the flanges are pressed by vertical slots thereof while the end portions of the flanges are sized-rolled by horizontal rolls thereof; a third step wherein a joint portion at the end portion of the flange is subjected to bending between a first roller having a projection for defining a bending position of said joint portion and a second roller having a projection for bending the joint portion and a fourth step wherein a finishing universal mill is used to finish-roll the beam blank to provide the steel H-sheet pile.
