Purpose: The computer simulation of mechanical properties of quenched and tempered steel was investigated. The established method of computer simulation was applied in prediction of mechanical properties of workpiece with complex form. Design/methodology/approach: The method of computer simulation of mechanical properties of quenched and tempered steel was established by theoretical analysis of relevant properties which have influence on hardness of quenched and tempered steel, and by regression analysis based on experimental results. Findings: The new method of prediction of mechanical properties of quenched and tempered steel was established. Proposed method of computer simulation of mechanical properties of quenched and tempered steel is based on predicted steel hardness. Hardness distribution of quenched and tempered workpiece of complex form was predicted by computer simulation of steel quenching using a finite volume method. It was found out that mechanical properties of quenched and tempered steel can be successfully predicted by proposed method. Research limitations/implications: The investigation was done on carbon and low alloyed steel. The further experimental investigations are needed for final verification of established model. Practical implications: The established method could be applied in industrial practice. Originality/value: As-quenched hardness distribution is predicted by involving the results of simple Jominy-test in numerical modelling of steel quenching. Estimation of hardness distribution is based on time, relevant for structure transforma- tion, i.e., time of cooling from 800 to 500°C (t8/5). The distribution of mechanical properties in quenched and tempered steel workpiece is estimated based on as-quenched steel hardness, tempering temperature and Jominy-test results.
