Hello,
Can someone please tell me what material the main crankshaft is made from on the RR Merlin?
Many thanks

Something like this but you would need to get your crankshaft (US or UK made?) analyzed for a definite answer. Generally class SAE 33XX, nickel chromium steel alloy, in the case of Merlin, nitrided.

You could contact the RR historical branch, but whether they would give you the exact material spec is another question.
