Donno,

but what I do know is that a whole lot of manufacturers seem to have settled on either 2024 or 7075 Al alloys for rods with hardened steel gudgeon pins and the same materials for crankpins. Some use Bronze bushes on the rods as well. If you PM me your mailing address I can send you a little bit of 2024 suitable for a rod.
