Prediction of heat treatment parameters for low alloy steel by using JMATPRO
Keywords:
-Abstract
The purpose of this study is presentation of the JMATPRO Java-based Materials Properties software for
calculating the Continuous Cooling Transformation diagrams for automotive and engineering steels. The JMATPRO used
for prediction of steel properties before 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 relative amount of phases presents, tensile strength, 0.2% of proof stress and hardness of steel cooled
from austenitizing temperature with a fixed cooling rate. The results can be used in designing new chemical compositions
of steels with assumed properties before heat treatment. The JMATPRO computer program can be used for selecting steel
with required structure after heat treatment.
