There is provided a production method for a hat-shaped steel sheet pile including performing rough rolling, intermediate rolling, and finish rolling on a material to be rolled through hot rolling, and then performing bending forming, in which the material to be rolled is composed of a web corresponding part, flange corresponding parts, arm corresponding parts, and joint corresponding parts, corner parts as worked parts are formed at connection places between the web corresponding part and the flange corresponding parts and connection places between the flange corresponding parts and the arm corresponding parts, the intermediate rolling is carried out by performing rolling in a plurality of passes on the material to be rolled in a hot state by using a caliber provided to upper and lower caliber rolls in one or a plurality of intermediate rolling mills in which one stand is configured by one caliber, at a height lower than a predetermined target product height, the bending forming is performed in a hot state and performed in a state where the worked parts have a temperature of transformation point or higher, and in the bending forming, the material to be rolled is formed to have predetermined target height and target width.

A method influences the geometry of a rolled item in a controlled manner. In the method, the rolled item is transformed from an initial condition into an intermediate or final condition by rolling with the aid of a rolling stand having at least one processing assembly. An improvement in the geometry of the rolled item, particularly during processing of asymmetric rolled items, is achieved in that the at least one processing assembly is operated in a force-controlled manner on the basis of a desired force.

A section mill (10) for the rolling of steel sections is disclosed. The section mill includes a universal mill stand (12) and an edger mill stand (14) for rolling a workpiece (18) in a plurality of back-and-forth passes into a steel section having a web and one or more flanges. The section mill further includes a cooling arrangement (16) for cooling the workpiece while it undergoes rolling during one or more of the passes. The cooling arrangement includes a cooling box (20) having a spray head (21) with spray openings (22) for spraying jets of pressurized cooling liquid against the workpiece. The cooling arrangement further includes an actuator (38, 34) configured to move the cooling box relative to the stand frame (58) of the universal mill stand and/or of the edger mill stand for adjusting a distance between the spray openings and the workpiece.
