Mission:

To develop tools for a more precise assessment of high temperature corrosion resistance and for lifetime prediction of materials and components under high temperature conditions.

Strategies:

• Exchange of information and ideas at topical EUROCORR sessions

• Organisation of high temperature corrosion networks and initiation of joint research activities at the working party meetings
  

• Assessment of the state-of-the-art by focused workshops as a basis for planning future research activities
  

• Dissemination of most recent results from joint European research projects in seminars / workshops
  

• Training of young researchers

• Active involvement in high temperature corrosion standardization activities (CEN, ISO)
  
  -  Minutes of ISO TC 156 WG 13 meetings ( December 2003 ,  May 2004 , October 2004 , May 2005 , October 2005 )
  -  ISO Working Document ISO TC 156 N1122 (dated November 2005)
  -  ISO TC156 NWIP Thermocyclic exposure
  -  ISO TC156 NWIP Post exposure 

• Editing of volumes in the EFC-series on special concurrent research topics
  

• Dissemination of information on high temperature corrosion events worldwide

Next WP meeting :

Tuesday, 9 September 2008, Ediburgh, Scotland, approx. 18:00 - 19:00 h (following the scientific session)
