Hardness Guide (HRC)
Rockwell C (HRC) is the hardness scale most commonly used for hardened tool steels and other hard engineering materials — a diamond cone indenter is pressed into the material under a standard load, and hardness is read on a 0–100 scale.
Typical Reference Ranges
General material-science reference ranges, not EUROCUT-specific claims:
| Material | Typical HRC Range |
|---|---|
| Mild / unhardened steel | 10–25 HRC |
| Pre-hardened mold steel | 28–36 HRC |
| Hardened tool steel | 45–65 HRC |
| Hardened bearing steel | 58–64 HRC |
| Titanium alloys | 30–40 HRC |
The maximum workpiece hardness EUROCUT's Z5 series is rated for is pending final manufacturer confirmation.
