Can a metallic body be melted just by compressing it?

134 views

So in a fictional world –
Can a character melt a metal if he applies the pressure (equally distributed) to a metal body? Will application of indefinite amount of pressure on a small metal eventually lead to a change in it’s state? From solid to liquid-ish?
Please help

Even in the real world most aluminum profiles are done using cold extrusion where the feedstock is just pushed through a die with a large pressure forming the aluminum.
