 To affect the structural strength. Something like an axle can look really scabbby, but, on cleaning off, it really is only pitting. Thinner materials are different, obviously. Post a picture up

 Clean them up at work all the time. Your axle will be 45mm solid steel. Just take it out and hit it with a 3M sanding disc on your grinder. Etech prime and paint, or send to get galved.
