As an aside, iron also is strengthened by hammering on it. It’s called forging. Been done for hundreds of years.

Uncanny "Adaptive Durability" Makes This Strange New Material Stronger Every Time You Hit It Funny, I thought that was the definition of "hammer-forged."

“When I stir cornstarch and water slowly, the spoon moves easily,” explains Yue (Jessica) Wang, a materials scientist and the project’s principal investigator. “But if I lift the spoon out and then stab the mixture, the spoon doesn’t go back in. It’s like stabbing a hard surface.” There was an episode of "Mythbusters" where they filled a tank with a cornstarch and water mixture, and were able to run across the surface.

It’s like stabbing a hard surface.” Scientists call this variable state adaptive durability, meaning the strength of the material shifts from a generally malleable state to a more durable one after a type of force is applied."I thought that was called thixotropy.
