What material are these ARP rod bolts made from?

These rod bolts are constructed from ARP's proprietary 8740 chrome moly steel. This material is chosen for its high tensile strength and resistance to fatigue, making it suitable for demanding engine applications.

What is the purpose of the wave-loc design?
