Some of the qualities that should be present in materials for shafts are as follows:


> The material should have a high index of strength.


> Also it should have a high level of machinability.


> The material should possess a low notch sensitivity factor.


> The material must also have wear resistant properties.


> Good heat treatment properties should also be present
The common material used to creates shafts of high strengths an alloy of steel like nickel is used. 

>The shafts are manufactured by hot rolling processes and then the shaft is finished using drawing or grinding processes.
