It's often confused that the metallurgy of a wire is what's being affected by burn-in, but it's the dielectric (insulation) of the wire that is going through the burn-in process in terms of its relationship with the conductor. What can affect the metallurgy of a wire is cryo treatment, which better optimizes the grain boundaries of a metals crystalline structure.
