Steel has continued to develop its status as a lightweight construction material for the design of vehicle bodies, most recently with the development of multi‐phase steel. With a specific mixture of different phases in the steel microstructure, multi‐phase steel combines high stability with good forming capacity. The characterisation of the complex structure of the multi‐phase steel represents a challenge for metallurgists. For some years a new generation of X‐ray diffractometers with two‐dimensional (area) detectors and apparatus for local dissolved measurements are available to customers [5]. This paper reports the applications and advantages of the modern X‐ray diffractometry method. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
