EFC Working Party 3: Corrosion by Hot Gases and Combustion Products

WP Mission and Strategies

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