Heat Treat.
Throughout the rugged, daily usage the crankshaft is exposed to extremely high forces. Both, crankshaft and connecting rod, are subject to a heat treat process at almost 1000°C after the initial soft machining stage.
This process modifies the crystal structure of the surface, giving the component the increased wear resistance required.
