2. For Tronex "T" cutters, tungsten carbide is silver brazed into the cutting edges of the tool creating an ultra hard cutting edge measured at 79 to 81 HRC (Carbon steel cutters measure 62 to 63 HRC) Tronex "W" cutters are made entirely from a tungsten alloy steel and have a hardness of 66 to 68 HRC. "W" cutters are totally unique to Tronex.
