How can you tell if it is chromoly?

That's not a test for any particular alloy at all, only a rough guide to two metals' relative hardnesses. Mild-steel cannot be hardened through, only case-hardened to give a thin, wear-resistant surface layer. Heat-treatable steels can be hardened through but hardness alone merely tells you it has been hardened, and may simply be high-carbon steel (Iron plus a small amount of carbon). If you know the metal in a particular machine can only be either untreated mild-steel or Chromoloy, then hardness will differentiate them; but if you don't know what alloys have been used, it tells you only which components have been hardened, and could be any of two or more such alloys in the machine. As for using a file as a hardness-tester.... Not with any file belonging to me or anyone else who respects their tools, you don't!
