The role of energy in the modern world goes beyond mere technology
and economics to influence welfare, environment, life quality and,
broadly, civilisation. Since the industrial revolution, energy
conversion technology has been at the forefront of innovation
required to satisfy the needs of mankind. This technology more than
others has always been very dependent on the performance of the
materials used; especially over the last two decades during which
efficiency and environmental concerns have become challenging
objectives. In this context the European Commission has developed
significant collaborative programmes in Europe within the COST
framework, to enhance the state of the art in this technology. The
Li ge Conferences pursue the mission to report on the achievements
of these programmes in the light of progress made elsewhere. The
first four conferences in this series were held in 1978, 1982, 1986
and 1990, and provided the opportunity to present and review the
work of the European Materials Collaborative Programmes COST-50
(gas turbines), COST-505 (steam turbines) and COST- 501 (energy
conversion from fossil fuels). The proceedings of these conferences
were published by Applied Science Publishers (1978) and by D.
ReideIlKluwer Publishing Company (1982, 1986 and 1990). While the
first two Conferences have dealt essentially with high temperature
alloys for gas turbines (COST 50), the third and fourth Conferences
held in 1986 and 1990 were concerned with a broader range of
topics, including the work of the third round of COST-50
(1972-1983), that of COST-50l, which was initiated in 1981 and COST
505 (1983-1990).
