What is the best material for a crankshaft?
In the high performance crankshaft world, the nickel-chrome-moly alloy SAE-4340 (AMS-6414) has been a favorite in both forged and billet applications. It is used because of its very high strength and fatigue properties, coupled with good ductility and impact resistance at high strengths.

Crankshafts are made from forged steel or cast iron. Crankshafts for high-volume, low-load production vehicles are generally constructed from nodular cast iron, which has high strength (see Appendix D).
How smooth does a crankshaft have to be?
Crankshaft journal surfaces should be ground and polished to a surface finish of 15 micro inches roughness average Ra or better. Journals on highly loaded crankshafts such as diesel engines or high performance racing engines require a finish of 10 micro inches Ra or better.
How much can you grind a crankshaft?
0.050"A crank can be ground to as much as 0.050" as this is the biggest bearing sizes the OEM makes. The crankshaft is loaded onto the machine and then positioned using a hand-wheel which controls the manual micrometer wheel-head infeed.
Can a crankshaft be forged?
Forged crankshafts, often referred to as forged cranks, provide strength and reliability that far surpass any cast or turned bar stock, making forged crankshafts the standard for any use that demands strength, consistency or quality.
