I want to know the answer to the following question:
What can be done to a metal to enhance its properties?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The physical properties, such as density, reactivity, Young's modulus of an alloy may not differ greatly from those of its elements, but engineering properties such as tensile strength and shear strength may be substantially different from those of the constituent materials.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
