What Does HRC Stand For?
HRC stands for Rockwell Hardness C Scale
HRC, or Rockwell Hardness C Scale, is a numerical scale used to measure the hardness of materials, particularly metals. It assesses hardness by applying a specific load to an indenter and measuring the depth of penetration, with higher values indicating greater hardness. The HRC scale is widely utilized in manufacturing and quality control to ensure material properties meet required standards for performance and durability.
