The properties of both metallic and non-metallic materials are influenced by their internal structure, which, in turn, as it is known, depends on the process used to obtain them and on the thermodynamics underlying these processes.In order to improve the properties of materials, account should be taken of the thermodynamics underlying the transformations occurring in the materials, and there should also be sought solutions to increase and potentiate the transformations by applying, if possible, external energy fields which positively amplify these processes.
