tempered steel
Toughened blade material
Tempered steel is steel that has been heated and then cooled in a controlled process to increase its hardness and durability while reducing brittleness.
The tempering process makes the metal more resilient—able to hold an edge and withstand stress without shattering.
Tempered steel appears in tools, blades, and springs where strength and flexibility both matter.
