Drive shaft material

[smallenginebloke]

G'day all from Darwin

Can anyone tell me exactly what material the drive shaft on an F100AET is made from?

Thanks

good steel.

stainless steel from what I would think.
what are you asking for?
welding it maybe?

I doubt Yamaha has ever published the exact specifications/composition of their driveshaft materials, but the application would require a very high quality of steel....the percentages of steel, nickel, chromium, etc. and their heat treating processes must be very specific....
