Scope

Hardness testing with files consists essentially of cutting or abrading the surface of metal parts@ and approximating the hardness by the feel@ or extent to which@ the file bites into the surface. The term file hard means that the surface hardness of the parts tested is such that a new file of proven hardness will not cut the surface of the material being tested.
