HRC stands for Hardness Rockwell C scale. There are different scales; C is probably the most common for hardened materials. See the related link for more information.

Converting between different hardness scales is not an exact science, but there are many charts available that will show the approximate relationship between different scales. One chart is available at http://www.carbidedepot.com/formulas-hardness.htm Another useful website for converting between different hardness scales is http://www.efunda.com/units/hardness/convert_hardness.cfm Tianxing Testing Instruments Co.

It can range from 10 HRc to 50 HRc it's all dependent on how it's heat treated and quenched.
If 35 HRC is high on the Rockwell scale or not is quite relative to what you would define as high. A typical axe would rate at around 45-55 HRC, while high quality steel knives would rate at about 55-66 HRC.
The Rockwell C Hardness system uses "HRC" as a measure of hardness for various materials. A hardness of 68 HRC is extremely high and will most likely be harder than simple steel.
HRC 23-34 According to ASTM F568M (1996)
hardness as it is measured on a rockwell or brinell testing instrument

Hardness of metal is determined by the carbon content. HRC is the Rockwell Hardness Scale. A hardness of 55-58 is not very hard compared to carbon steel.
In rockwell, it should be between 23-32 HRC

In depends on the hardfacing technique and the final Fe dilution. Typical values range 42-45 HRC.
