Laser surface hardening and related processes are viable techniques for surface integrity optimization of technical components. Although, the techniques are standard processes in industrial applications, process optimization is essentially based on simulation and on characterization after material processing. Moreover, the simulations often lack in an adequate accuracy, since the models are still deficient. Knowledge about the phase transformation kinetics and about the evolution of local (residual) stress distributions is of essential importance for the optimization of the surface hardening process and hence, for the tailoring of the treated surface layers. A considerable progress can be achieved when a real-time insight into these local short-time heat treatment processes can be gained. By this means process comprehension can be achieved as well as a proper validation of the simulation models can be offered. Here, different set-ups for real-time monitoring of phase transformation as well as stress evolution during fast heat treatment processes by means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction will be presented. Successful application for laser surface hardening and arc welding will be shown.
