hard metal
Rigid metallic substance
Hard metal is a class of extremely durable materials made by bonding tungite carbide particles with a metalite binder, used for cutting tools, drill bits, and industrial applications requiring resistance to wear and heat.
The term distinguishes these engineered composites from ordinary metals.
In music, hard metal is an informal variant of heavy metal.
