Seems to be that the molecular structure (after treatment) is simply more homogeneous, not more tightly aligned; the molecules are compressed during cooling then during warmup the material undergoes expansion such that the molecules expand like raisins in dough when cooking in the oven; this expansion results in a more uniform distribution of the molecules. The molecular structure, at least in part, was non-uniform to begin with because the manufacturing processes such as stamping, drawing, rolling, cutting, etc. cause gross irregularites in the molecular structure of the materials - "clumping," "stretching," whatever...
