About 50% of hubs of this type that I have stripped have a hairline crack.
The trick is to always get them crack checked properly.
There is no reason why they cannot be TIG welded by an expert - re-machined and x rayed.
This is not DIY stuff.
Myself I started to keep all the cracked ones and will in the fullness of time get them repaired as a batch.
One of our club members, after trying to find a pair of uncrackeed front stub axles, has decided to have a new pair machined from solid !!
Not sure of the cost.
