A metallic drilling member is surface hardened except at an end portion, because the end portion is masked. The masking is achieved by placing on the end portion a lid which forms a slight gap around the surface being heat treated. During the heat treatment a furnace atmosphere enters the gap to cause the depth of the heat treatment to be gradually decreased in a manner producing a relatively elongated transition zone between heat treated and non-heat treated portions of the surface. The gap can be of constant width, or gradually decreasing width.
