high-strength

Built to last

High-strength describes materials engineered to withstand exceptional stress or force: high-strength steel, high-strength concrete, high-strength adhesive.

The term is technical and comparative—what counts as high-strength varies by category.

A high-strength bolt exceeds standard grade specifications; high-strength aluminum alloys approach steel's durability at lower weight.
