Default axles breaking

i was cleaning the nemesis and after i took the wheels off and the hubs i found this. it almost looks like metal failure. the metal axles at the pin is flaking off. on one part all i did was touch it and the metal flaked off in my hand.i think when the metal was probably heat treated it was subject to too high tempsand made the metal brittle.any who its just what i found.
