    When you are dealing with energy you are dealing with different forms of it. These forms can be transformed into each other but they are fundamentally different. We are applying mechanical energy into the metal. This can have a similar effect as if we were applying thermal energy. In fact, some chemists are investigating how to drive chemical reactions mechanically instead of the old standby of thermal energy. I recently was awarded a provisional patent using mechanical energy to create Perovskite ceramics for High Temperature Superconductors by using a relatively new chemical process called reactive milling. If you're interested in this, Google Professor Serge Kaliaguine of Laval University in Quebec, Canada or Professor Jeffrey Moore of the University of Illinois, you may find it interesting.
