hardened steel
Heat-treated iron blend
Hardened steel is steel that has been heat-treated to increase its hardness and durability.
The process typically involves heating the metal and rapidly cooling it, creating a material resistant to wear and deformation.
Hardened steel appears in tools, knives, and machine parts where strength matters: The blade is made of hardened steel.
