As explained by wikiHow in the article “How to Harden Steel,” steel—already known for its strength and versatility—can be made even more durable through a straightforward heating and quenching process. This simple hardening technique significantly boosts resistance to wear, making steel components such as knives, tools, and mechanical parts last much longer in demanding conditions. 

Hardening steel is a critical step in manufacturing when high-performance or long-lasting parts are required. While many tool-grade steels come pre-treated, additional hardening can improve resistance to bending, dulling, and breaking, especially in applications involving repetitive impact or friction.
