Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for material design, enabling the selection of the chemical elements concentration, heat and plastic treatment conditions and geometrical dimensions to ensure the required mechanical properties of structural steels specified by the designer of machinery and equipment as the basis for the design of material components manufactured from these steels, by using a computational model developed with use of artificial intelligence methods and virtual environment. The model is designed to provide impact examinations of these factors on the mechanical properties of steel only in the computing environment. Design/methodology/approach: A virtual research environment built with use of computational model describing relationships between chemical composition, heat and plastic treatment conditions and product geometric dimensions and mechanical properties of the examined group of steel was developed and practical applied. This model enables the design of new structural steel by setting the values of mechanical properties based on material production descriptors and allows the selection of production descriptors on the basis of the mechanical properties without the need for additional tests or experimental studies in reality. Findings: Virtual computing environment allows full usage of the developed intelligent model of non-alloy and alloy structural steel properties and provides an easy, intuitive and user-friendly way to designate manufacturing descriptors and mechanical properties for products. Research limitations/implications:The proposed solutions allow the usage of developed virtual environment as a new medium in both, the scientific work performed remotely, as well as in education during classes. Practical implications: The new material design methodology has practical application in the development of materials and modelling of steel descriptors in aim to improve the mechanical properties and specific applications in the production of steel. Presented examples of computer aid in structural steel production showing a potential application possibility of this methodology to support the production of any group of engineering materials. Originality/value: The prediction possibility of the material mechanical properties is valuable for manufacturers and constructors. It ensures the customers quality requirements and brings also measurable financial advantages.
