    If you crush me, then reheat me to just below my melting point, then quench me back then crush me some more, my microgender structure gets stretched and tensed with smaller and smaller grains. I become harder and harder until my yield strength is equal to my ultimate strength. Deep down I’m still the same alloy but heat treated.

        Thanks! I just like the feeling of the microcrystalline structure solving and re condensing with new orientation that prevent my gender planes from dislocating on all sorts of cleavage directions.
