Abstract: A method that improves stretch flange formability of a steel sheet by individual treatment matching a material of the steel sheet without performing heat treatment in a die. This method is a method for manufacturing a steel sheet for cold press, and the steel sheet is manufactured by heating an edge of the steel sheet to a temperature within a heating temperature range preset according to a microstructure of the steel sheet and cooling the steel sheet. A region, within an edge of the steel sheet subjected to shearing in a shearing step, where it is estimated that a stretch flange crack is likely to occur when a press component is formed by cold pressing is determined, and a site to be heated and cooled is set within the region. By press-forming the manufactured steel sheet, a target press component is manufactured.

When a lower die and a pad sandwich a sandwiching region that is a region including at least a part of a region corresponding to the top sheet portion, an upper die is moved in a pressing direction to perform bending while moving the sandwiched material to the vertical wall portion side.

The ridgelines are set at positions such that, when the bending is complete, the position of the top sheet portion is located on the vertical wall portion side rather than the positions of the ridgelines.
