  • Publication number: 20220195550
    Abstract: An example track shoe, cutting edge, or other component of a machine is formed in a heated process, such as hot-rolling followed by air-hardening. The air-hardening process involves cooling the component by flowing air over the component (e.g., air cooling), such that the component is cooled at a controlled rate. During the air-cooling process, such as in the range of about 250° C. to about 1100° C., the component may be machined, such as by shearing, punching, drilling, etc. The machining may form the final shape of the component. As the air-hardening process is completed, and the component approaches room temperature, the component may have at least 5% bainitic crystal composition, and as high as greater than 80% bainitic crystal composition, resulting in relatively high hardness and fracture toughness. The final track shoe may have a hardness between about 40 HRC and 55 HRC.

  • Patent number: 9440693
    Abstract: A method of producing a forged steel part is disclosed. The method includes providing a steel billet that can be selectively hardened to different hardness levels by varying the air cooling rate. The method also includes heating the steel billet to an austenization temperature of the steel billet. The method further includes hot forging the steel billet to form the steel part including a first region and a second region. The method yet further includes selectively cooling the hot forged steel part by air cooling the first region at a first cooling rate and air cooling the second region at a second cooling rate that is less than the first cooling rate.

  • Publication number: 20160168708
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a component includes providing a component machined or forged from an air-hardenable steel, and placing the component in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processing chamber. The method may include controlling the pressure within the processing chamber to a pressure that is below atmospheric pressure, inducting feedstock gases into the processing chamber, and increasing the temperature inside the processing chamber to a coating temperature at which one or more volatile precursors from the feedstock gases react on the surface of the component to produce a thin film coating. The temperature in the processing chamber may be maintained at the coating temperature for a period of time that includes at least one of a period of time before, during, and after the thin film coating is produced in order to austenitize the material of the component.

  • Patent number: 8905493
    Abstract: A composite track link is provided that has a body and a replaceable rail brazed or soldered together to provide a metallurgical bond between the track link body and the rail such that the rail may be removed and replaced by heating the track link or the brazing or soldering filler metal when the rail becomes worn. This process enables the rail to be separated from the body of the track link so a new rail can be brazed or soldered to the body of the track link. As a result, track links or bodies of track links may outlast the rails by multiple use cycles. Further, the body and rail may be formed of different materials.
