This helps to explain the relationship between final hardness and various single phases. The FDM method helps to obtain the volume fraction of single phase, and a weight function considering carbon equivalent of phases was introduced to predict the final hardness of multi-phase and quenched microstructure according to the single phase hardness simulated. Besides, the simulation of multi-phase microstructure considering initial thermo-physical parameters was realized by DEFORM-HT. Above all, thermo-physical parameters and diagrams of CCT curve were calculated by JMATPRO software, and then the characterization of phase transformation and CCT curve were fatherly analyzed.

Microstructures of AISI1050 disk after quenching process (cooling from 880☌ to 150☌ by 6% AQ251 quenchant) were simulated by DEFORM-HT software, and the corresponding mechanical properties were calculated by the finite difference method (FDM).
