Hi Jdog1864,
The short answer is yes. You may want to google the term "Phase Diagram" for the particular material that you want to compress. With most material, there's a transition to the liquid phase before going into the solid phase.

Please let us know if we can provide any additional help or if we can help clarify any additional concepts.
