Hereinafter, primarily in the position shown in FIG. 3, illustrating the results of verification tests metallographic and characteristics.
[0040]
 As shown in FIG. 3, the position of 1/6 from the end face of the flange width direction of the flange to the flange width direction, and the surface of the flange located on the opposite side of the web (i.e., the outer surface) from the flange thickness direction 1/4 position of, and the temperature is lowered easily flange end during hot rolling, the temperature is intermediate between hard flange central lowered. Further, there is no possibility that the center segregation area is observed at this site. Therefore, this position is considered to indicate an average chemical composition and mechanical properties of the H-beam from the temperature distribution.
 In this specification, the position, with the flange width F and the flange thickness t is denoted as "F / 6-t / 4".
[0041]
 H-beam according to this embodiment, suppresses the material variation within the flange. Therefore, measurement of observation and mechanical properties of the metal structure of the H-beam (intensity and Charpy absorbed energy) is most fragile part and in the vicinity F / 2-3t / 4 of H-shaped steel shown in Fig. 3, F / performed 6-t / 4 each sample piece from the position taken in.
[0042]
 Position of the most fragile portions, the right and left directions in the figure by circumstances at the time of flange rough rolling, i.e. not constant relative to the flange width direction. Therefore, in terms of center segregation area it was made to appear by nital corrosion solution portions are agglomerated, showing the position of 3/4 from the surface of the flange located on the opposite side of the web in the flange thickness direction (3t / 4) and the straight line, the center segregation area was determined with the intersection portions which are agglomerated with the position of the most fragile part. Position the sample pieces were taken from the most fragile part specified, measurements were performed observations and mechanical properties of the metal structure.
[0043]
 Evaluation of metal structure of the rolled H-shaped steel of the present invention is carried out by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron microprobe (EPMA). By light microscopy, most fragile portion shown in FIG. 3 to identify the field of view of 10 mm × 10 mm as the center. In identified field, accelerating voltage 20kV after electrolytic polishing, belt-like beam shape length 20 [mu] m, the condition of step 20 [mu] m, was measured Mn concentration at the position of the most fragile portion defined. Of 500 points × 500 points in the visual field, the average value of 12500 points as the top 5% or more values determined (this is referred to as "top 5% average"), Mn concentration in the outermost embrittlement unit ( CMn-max)

 As shown in FIG. 2, in the case of manufactured in conventional edging techniques rolled H-shaped steel, the segregation ratio is greater than 1.6, and most brittle portions, the position of the F / 6-t / 4 Charpy transition temperature difference ΔvTrs is over 40 ° C. with. MnS by Mn is more segregated in the outermost embrittlement portion in this state, island martensite is a hard phase (MA), upper bainite or the like is formed, embrittlement can not be suppressed.
 On the other hand, it rolled H-section steel produced by a split method, and the most fragile part, the Charpy transition temperature difference ΔvTrs between the position of the F / 6-t / 4 is 40 ° C. or less. That is, in the state where the segregation ratio becomes 1.6 or less, aggregation of the center segregation area is suppressed, it rolled H-shaped steel excellent in uniformity in the cross-section is obtained in the flange than conventional products.
 Incidentally, when the steel structure building to be used in a general temperature condition is subjected to seismic force, etc., in order to H-section steel members satisfies a predetermined mechanical properties without brittle fracture, F / 6-t / it is desirable 4 position of vTrs is 0 ℃ or less.
[0046]
 As described above, in the rolled H-shaped steel according to the present invention, it is preferable segregation ratio shown in FIG. 2 is 1.6 or less. Furthermore, as the segregation ratio is low, it is suppressed aggregation of the center segregation area, since it is excellent embrittlement, and more preferably 1.5 or less. Also, segregation ratio, it is not less than the characteristic on a 1.0 numerical is preferably, for example, 1.0 or more, or 1.1 or more.
[0047]
 Next, a method for manufacturing the H-shaped steel according to the present embodiment.

Since deformation resistance heating temperature is low is increased, and 1100 ° C. or higher in order to ensure the shaping of the hot rolling. On the other hand, if the heating temperature of the steel strip exceeds 1350 ° C., there is the oxide of the surface of the steel strip which is a material to damage by melting furnace. Nb, etc., in order to sufficiently solid solution element that forms a precipitate, it is preferable that the lower limit of the heating temperature of the steel slab and 1150 ° C. or higher. In particular, the plate thickness of the product is thin, since the cumulative rolling reduction is increased, it is preferable to set the heating temperature of the steel slab to 1200 ° C. or higher. To fine tissue, it is preferable that the upper limit of the heating temperature of the steel slab to 1300 ° C. or less.
[0051]

(Protruding tip angle at the interruption time of the caliber)
 FIG. 1 (b), the for Anagata tip angles shown in FIG. 5 (protruding tip angle in the grooved circumference) sufficient acute in forming an interruption may be an angle, for example, the upper limit may be set to 40 °. Type tip angle exceeds 40 ° when the slab in the center segregation area is not dispersed in the flange, in order to aggregate the edging rolling Similarly fillet portion shown in FIG. 1 (a). The center segregation area during rolling in the interrupt forming caliber as indicated by the split method shown in FIG. 1 (b) the Anagata tip angle by a 40 ° or less is dispersed without agglomeration in the flange, the fillet it is possible to suppress a decrease in toughness.
 The lower limit of Anagata tip angle is not particularly provided, due to the possibility of breakage roll during rolling and below 25 °, preferably more than 25 °.
 At this time, the center segregation area of the slab rather than divided into right and left flanges of the I position, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), may be distributed to the left or right flange.
[0054]
 Split method shown in FIG. 1 (b), for example, the case of producing the flange width 150mm or more rolled H-beams, the center segregation area is distributed in the flange portion, the flange, from the vicinity of the center of the flange width of the flange width 15mm or more toward the one end face or both end faces, and the flange surface in the thickness direction (from the flange surface located on the opposite side of the web in the flange thickness direction) remaining in the region within 2 mm. Figure 1 (b) in the case of producing a rolled H-section steel by a split method shown, the center segregation area dispersed in the flange portion would remain over a predetermined length during the region. The center segregation area to be distributed in the vicinity of the surface layer can be revealing in identification by nital corrosion solution described above.
 The top 5% average concentration of Mn in the center segregation area to be dispersed in the vicinity of the surface layer and (CMn-surface), polarized at this position析度(CMn-surface) / (CMn ) is 1.1 to 1.6 it is desirable that. Split method compared to edging method, there is a tendency that the flange surface of the segregation ratio is higher. When segregation ratio is 1.1 or more, there is a merit that the inspection can confirm the crack surface visually is facilitated, also based on the crack surface, also to trace the product to be more prepared as each individual possible it is. On the other hand, if the segregation ratio exceeds 1.6, it becomes easy to enter a large number of cracks on the flange surface, it is desirable that segregation ratio is 1.1 to 1.6. Incidentally, (CMn-surface) the upper 5% average concentration of Determination in shall conform to Determination of the top 5% average concentration in the (CMn-max). That is, a sample of the sampling position is different only, method of obtaining the numerical value is basically the same.
[0055]
(Intermediate rolling step)
 In the intermediate rolling step of hot rolling may be controlled rolling by the intermediate universal rolling mill. Controlled rolling is a manufacturing method of controlling the rolling temperature and reduction ratio. The intermediate rolling of the hot rolling, is preferably subjected to water-cooling rolling between passes 1 pass or more. The path between the water-cooled rolling, by performing water cooling between rolling passes, the temperature difference is given to and the internal surface of the flange and rolling. Water cooling rolling between passes, for example, by water cooling between rolling passes, after the flange surface temperature was cooled to 700 ° C. or less, a manufacturing method of rolling with recuperator process.
[0056]
 When performing water cooling rolling between passes, with a water cooling device provided before and after the intermediate universal rolling mill, it is preferable to perform water cooling between rolling passes, repeating the spray cooling and reverse rolling of the flange outer surface by the water-cooling unit it is preferable to perform. The path between the water-cooled rolling, even if the rolling reduction is small, it is possible to introduce the working strain to the inside of the plate thickness. Moreover, by reducing the rolling temperature in a short time by water cooling is also improved productivity.
[0057]
 Incidentally, after the end of hot rolling as the intermediate rolling step and the finish rolling process, as it is, the water cooling apparatus provided on the exit side of the finishing mill, may be subjected to accelerated cooling on the inner and outer surfaces of the flanges. The cooling rate of the inner and outer surfaces of the flange becomes uniform, thereby improving the material and shape accuracy. Web top surface after the rough rolling process by cooling water injected into the inner surface of the flange, the upper surface side is cooled. To suppress warpage of the web it may be cooled from the lower surface of the web.
[0058]
 In rolled H-section steel produced by the manufacturing method of the H-shaped steel according to the present embodiment described, the center segregation area present in the slab prior to rolling shaping dispersed without aggregating in fillet rolling over it is possible to complete the modeling. Specifically, in the flanges after rolling shaping, DerutavTrs is rolled H-section steel is manufactured such that 40 ° C. or less, the segregation ratio becomes 1.6 or less (see FIG. 2).
[0059]
 In such rolled H-shaped steel, that such center segregation area to the fillet portion of the flange aggregated adversely affect the toughness and embrittlement is avoided. That is, the production of H-section steel products excellent in toughness and embrittlement can be achieved. The center segregation area dispersed in flanges, the flanges, towards the center of the flange width on one end face or both end faces of the flange width 15mm or more, and the flange thickness direction from the surface located on the opposite side of the web While remaining in the region within 2mm in, for non-aggregated, effects on toughness and embrittlement it is estimated that almost no. Furthermore, conventionally, such as various inspection and experiments to examine the internal state of the flanges is determined, in the H-shaped steel product according to the present embodiment is examined visually flange surface located on the opposite side of the web be able to.
