A process for producing a structural component

The invention relates to a method for producing a structural component (10), wherein a metal strip (5) having a plurality in a rolling direction (3) arranged behind each other Groups (4) of the upper and / or lower rolls is rolled such that the metal strip (5) can be produced with a varying thickness, comprising at least the following steps: - providing at the upper and / or lower rolls of each group (4) in the rolling direction (3) to shape-changing profiles (6), each extending shape-changing profiling (6) of each group (4) has a respective constant volume; - prefabricating the metal strip (5) with the shape-changing due to the profiles (6) generated subcontours (7a, 7b) to a desired final contour (7c); and to further processing steps, feeding of the prefabricated metal strip (5) to the desired final (7c) -.
