Purpose: The purpose of this paper is presentation of the computer program for calculating the Continuous Cooling Transformation diagrams for constructional and engineering steels. Design/methodology/approach: The computer program uses the artificial neural networks for prediction steel properties after heat treatment. Input data are chemical composition and austenitizing temperature. Results of calculation consist of temperature of the beginning and the end of transformation in the cooling rate function, the volume fraction of structural components and hardness of steel cooled from austenitizing temperature with a fixed rate. Findings: The algorithm can be use in designing new chemical compositions of steels with assumed hardness after heat treatment. Research limitations/implications: The created method for designing chemical compositions is limited by ranges of mass concentrations of elements. The methodology demonstrated in the paper makes possibility to add new steels to the system. Practical implications: The method may be used in computer steel selection systems for machines parts manufactured from constructional or engineering steels subjected to heat treatment. Originality/value: The presented computer program can be used for selecting steel with required structure after heat treatment.
