Purpose: The goal of the research carried out was evaluation of alloying elements effect on high-speed steels hardness and fracture toughness and austenite transformations during continuous cooling of structural steels. Design/methodology/approach: Multi-layer feedforward neural networks with learning rule based on the error backpropagation algorithm were employed for modelling the steels properties. Then the neural networks worked out were employed for the computer simulation of the effect of particular alloying elements on the steels’ properties. Findings: Obtained results show that neural network are useful in evaluation of synergic effect of alloying elements on selected materials properties when classical investigations’ results do not provide evaluation of the effect of two or more alloying elements. Practical implications: Numerical simulation presented in the work, based on using the adequate material models may feature an alternative for classical investigations on effect of alloying elements on steels’ properties. Originality/value: The use of the neural networks as an tool for evaluation of the chemical composition effect on steels’ properties.
