you can harden the shaft yourself by heating the shaft untill it glows red and quench it in 30wt motor oil it will now be hard but brittle, you can now reheat the metal to about 500 degs (tempering), there is now a battle between the metal being hard and brittle the more you have of one the more you will have of the other...I dont know how deep this penetrates the metal but at least the surface would be hardened
