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)
  Convenor of ISO TC 156 WG 13 "High Temperature Corrosion", Next meeting: on occasion of ISHOC 2010 in Zushi, on 08 November 2010
  

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

• Dissemination of information on high temperature corrosion events worldwide
  (Conference Calendar)
  

Standards developed by ISO TC 156 WG 13:

Draft documents (voting process closing date: 20 July 2010)

• ISO/TC 156 NP 21608: Corrosion of metals and alloys - Test method for isothermal exposure oxidation testing under high temperature corrosion conditions for metallic materials
• ISO/TC 156 NP 26146: Corrosion of metals and alloys - Method for metallographic examination of samples after exposure to high temperature corrosive environments
• ISO/TC 156 NP 13573: Corrosion of metals and alloys - Test method for thermal cycling exposure testing under high temperature corrosion conditions for metallic materials
