Summary: | The European Creep Collaborative Committee was founded in 1991/2 by European industrial and research organisations to harmonise and exchange scientific activities in the field of long duration creep. Now-a-days, due to the reduced availability of industrial and public funding the Europe wide collaboration has a particular weight in optimising the available testing and development resources. ECCC, supported by the EC Thematic Network Advanced Creep, 14 nations and nearly 50 organisations, actually runs Working Groups dealing with creep data generation and assessment procedures (WG1 and subgroups), with creep data collation, assessment and testing program co-ordination for ferritic and martensitic steels (WG3.A), austenitic steels (WG3.B), superalloys (WG3.C) and with creep behaviour of components (WG4). Several of these activities introduced harmonised common views into European and International Standards. |
