Abstract
It has been known for quite a long time that many first order transformations are preceded by a number of different precursing phenomena in the parent phase. These phenomena can be observed by experiments probing at the macroscopic as well as microscopic level. In the present contribution we will take a closer look at the relative relations between different precursor phenomena and also with the ensuing phase transformations. In practice we will limit ourselves to displacive phase transformations with the emphasis on martensitic transformations. Although the increasing amount of experimental data and recent refinements in theoretical models indicate clear connections between most precursors in a given system, the question whether or not these precursors have any specific effect on the final structure or configuration of the product phase still remains, however.
