I acquired these a long time ago, they were claimed to be Dana 44 chromoly axles. I don’t see any stamp or other marking on them that says 4340 or whatever but I also don’t know where to look. If they’re not chromoly then nothing else matters, I’ll ignore these pieces of useless steel.
Which brings me to issue #2, which is that they’ve got surface rust on them. I was able to knock most of it back with a nylon bristle wheel, but I do see it leaving scratch marks on the shaft so I’m not gonna do that on the bearing surface (any more than I already have).
Given the condition, are these salvageable/usable?
