SUMMARY:Online material analysis with X-ray diffraction during the heat treatment
DESCRIPTION:High energy cost and increasing requirements on the mechanical properties of modern steel causes high demand for sophisticated process control in the heat treatment of the flat steel production.
X-ray diffraction is a technology, which is traditionally used in the laboratory but recently also as online measuring device in steel production. The X-ray Controlled Annealing Process (X-CAP®) uses the measured phase fraction in front of the rapid cooling for production of AHSS. 
The change from temperature control to the direct material control improves the production yield, increases the flexibility in the production and reduces the energy cost.
Still there are more opportunities for this new technology, like the retained austenite measurement after the rapid cooling. 
Furthermore, the usage of higher X-ray energies extends the thickness range of the measurement and allows the phase fraction measurement in hot strip mills .
