In the attached, if I do SelSelfIntersectingCrv I get nothing. If I try Hatch, it fails with a message that there is a self intersecting curve.

run the IntersectSelf command to see where they intersect
Hi @miano,
The Hatch
command uses a tighter tolerance for self-intersection testing than does the IntersectSelf
command.
Those tight corners (upper left and upper right) are the problem.

IntersectSelf gives nothing.
The question is how to create a hatch where an arc meets a line at a tangent.
Maybe model the object with a more realistic representation? Even if you are modeling a sharpened tool edge it still won’t actually have a 100% tangent like you show, but some type of very small blunt edge or fillet.
