Forged 4340 Chromoly - Premium Aircraft-Grade Material What sets Branik outer stub shafts apart from stock replacements and budget alternatives is the use of premium aircraft-quality 4340 chromoly steel.

Double Heat-Treated for Maximum Durability Branik goes beyond standard heat treatment with a proprietary double heat-treat process: First Heat Treatment: Through-hardened shaft and yoke ears Develops core strength throughout the entire shaft Second Heat Treatment (Induction Hardening): Surface hardening over the entire shaft area Creates a wear-resistant outer layer Protects against scoring, galling, and surface wear This dual heat-treatment process produces outer stub shafts that are significantly tougher and more durable than single heat-treated or non-heat-treated alternatives.
