Some alloys use a combination of strain hardening and precipitation hardening to achieve particularly high strength levels. The usual order of strengthening is solution treatment, quenching, cold working, and finally precipitation heat treatment. Why not reverse the order of the cold working and precipitation heat treatment steps?
