I think you're talking about "Naval Jelly". I've used it to remove old bluing (which is just a form of rust) from gun parts prior to re-bluing. Works like a charm.
You're the metallurgy expert. Wouldn't rust weaken the shafts, and make them prone to breaking? What about changing the bend profile? Seems to be that rust would cause a stress point, and change the way the shaft bends. I'm not talking light surface rust, but rust that's gotten down past the coating.
