What are the material generally used for file hammer and chisel?
Answers
File
It is a tool used in woodworking and metalworking to remove fine amounts of material from a workpiece. It is made of a case hardened steel bar of square, rectangular, round or triangular cross-section. One or more of its surfaces are cut with sharp, usually parallel teeth. There is a narrow pointed tang at one end to which a handle is fitted. Files are also made with abrasive surfaces, like natural or synthetic diamond grains or silicon carbide.
Hammer
It is a tool to deliver a blow to an object. It is used to drive nails, forge metal, fit parts, and break apart objects. A traditional hammer has two parts, a head and a handle. It has a dense metallic striking head and a non-metallic mechanical-shock absorbing handle. The handle is made of wood or rigid fiberglass resin.
The one-piece designs are made of a single material. The handle of the one-piece metallic hammer may be coated or wrapped in a resilient material like rubber for better grip. The head of the hammer may be surfaced with brass, bronze, plastic, leather, rubber or wood.
Chisel
It is a tool which has a characteristically shaped cutting edge of blade on its end. It is used for carving or cutting a material like wood, stone or metal. It can be used by hand, struck with a mallet or mechanical power. The handle and blade of the chisels can be made of metal or wood with a sharp edge in it.
A file, a hammer and a chisel are all examples of hand tools.
The major material used to make a file is case hardened steel.
A chisel is usually made of two materials. The blade of a chisel is primarily made of carbon steel to make it more durable than ordinary steel. However, a few chisels have wooden blades. The handle of most chisels is wooden with just some types featuring metallic handles.
Like a chisel, a hammer is primarily designed with two materials. The head is mostly made of steel whereas the head is designed with hickory wood or ash wood.
