Which part of the file is NOT hardened?

Right Answer is:

Tang

SOLUTION

  • The tang is typically not hardened.
  • The body, teeth, and face of the file are hardened to provide the necessary abrasive properties.
  • However, the tang, which is the part of the file that fits into the handle, is usually left unhardened.
  • This is because a hardened tang would be brittle and prone to snapping or breaking when force is applied during use.
