Why did you select Hadfield steel ?
RE: Preconditioning Hadfield steel by shotblasting
Hadn't thought of it. These parts are prototypes and even in production will be pretty low quantities. NiHard appears to be a casting alloy only, can it be purchased in bar stock and machined? Casting just a few will be really expensive.
I have worked with Hadfield in the past, I guess I was falling back on what I knew.

If the parts are a cylinder then casting shouldn't be a big deal.
You might look at explosive hardening if you need to do an ID surface. It works well.
