Default MIM Hammer Defect

here is a mim hammer from my 460xvr, gun has less than 100 rounds thru it mostly 45 lc. needless to say it back at smith. i do not believe a forged or machined from billet part would have failed like this. second picture is gouged hammer block bar. i believe it is a stamping. i am considering upgrading to the chrome trigger and hammer, but if it is just a mim part that has been flashed chromed it seems that it would be money not well spent. i have also been told that once the chrome wears thru you are back to mim in the sear area? i asked to be contacted after evaluation by S&W service. does anyone know if the chrome hammer- trigger upgrade is from forged parts?
