RARE for an axle NOT to be heat treated, though a strong steel alloy, chromemolebdenum (cro-moly) in it's raw state wouldn't be quite strong enough to withstand bending after a while of heavy use & would require heat treating to give it it's required strength. google it & ask DK if it's absolutely essential that you know.  :)
