Abstract: Since the LICON methodology was first developed in the late 1990s to predict the long term creep rupture behaviour of new generation martensitic 9% Cr steels from the results of relatively short duration multi-axial specimen tests, there have been a number of necessary refinements to this originally simple concept. These are reviewed.

Keywords: LICON, multi-axial creep damage enhancement
