Alternatives to Forged Internals

I got an email back from a company in AU who does cryo and shot peening, here is his reply:
____
Murray,
Block . . . I cannot do because of size . . . benefit would probbaly be small anyway!
Rods . . . $20 each. Gain depends on material and manufacturing technique . . . 2 - 5% gain would be possible. Greater gains with dressing and shot peening . . . 20 to 30% increase in fatigue strength is possible. Note that cryo on rods would null any prior shot peening, so they would have to be repeened after cryo.
Regards, Stephen Hooker
____
FYI Ive emailed him again asking for Shot peening costs.
Well a combination of both techniques sounds like you could get some decent gains.
These were the guys and they are in NSW.

I got another email back...
Aluminium rods . . . cryo will not increase strength, but will stress relieve to a certain extent which is beneficial. We do shot peen, and that will improve the fatigue resistance of the aluminium rods as well . . . cost is $15 per rod.
There you go. Aluminum isnt good for a number of reasons.
I like the prices though
