Doc
My answer to your original question, is why not.
If you find an existing forging or billet, there is no reason that it cannot
be done reliably.
I did some cast cranks for ford about 25 years ago that were welded, heat
treated, nitrided and ground. They were not extremely durable, but then no
cast iron crank is.
These iron cranks we welded did well enough as prototypes to get test
vehicles running quickly.
