The distance L1 (mm) between a first reference position and an end edge of a first annular cooling-medium flow path closest to the workpiece satisfies H-t < L1 < 1.5 × H, wherein, when viewed in the approaching/separating direction, the length of the workpiece before start of pressing is defined by H (mm), the ending position of pressing is defined by the first reference position, and the thickness of the bottom of the cold forged product is defined by t (mm).

Abstract

The present invention has: an acquisition means that acquires measurement data pertaining to periodic movement of a physical object that performs periodic movements; a determination means that determines a revision coefficient, which is a coefficient in a revised autoregressive model, on the basis of the measurement data acquired by the acquisition means; and a diagnosis unit that diagnoses an abnormality in the physical object on the basis of the revision coefficient determined by the determination means. The revised autoregressive model is a formula for deriving a prediction value of the measurement data on the basis of the measurement data pertaining to the periodic movement of the physical object and the revision coefficient for the measurement data. The determination means determines the revision coefficient on the basis of eigenvalues of an autocorrelation matrix derived from the measurement data, the eigenvalues being derived by performing singular value decomposition on the autocorrelation matrix.

Abstract

This method for manufacturing a steel H-beam comprises a rough rolling step, an intermediate rolling step, and a finishing rolling step. A rolling machine that performs the rough rolling step is provided with a plurality of grooves that shape a to-be-rolled material. The plurality of grooves include: one or a plurality of dividing grooves in which protrusions are formed that cause a divided part to be formed in an end portion of the to-be-rolled material by forming a cut in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the to-be-rolled material; and a plurality of bending grooves in which protrusions are formed that contact the cut and sequentially bend the divided part formed at the dividing groove. The protrusion formed in a final dividing groove among the dividing grooves is constituted by a tapered tip part having a prescribed tip angle and a base part located at the base of the tip part and having a tapered shape with a gentler slope than the tip part.
