Abstract

The paper proposes a model-based approach for the design of martenzite structure steels with improved mechanical and plastic characteristics using proper composition and thermal treatment. For that purpose, artificial neural models approximating the dependence of steels strength characteristics on the percentage content of alloying components were trained. These non-linear models are further used within an optimization gradient procedure based on backpropagation of utility function through neural network structure. In order to optimizing the steel characteristics via its chemical composition, several steel brands with high values of tensile strenght, yield strenght and relative elongation were designed. A steel composition having economical alloying and proper for practical application was determined comparing several obtained decisions. The usage of that steel will lead to lightening of the hardware for automobile industry.
