HIGH CARBON STEEL TRACK BUSHING

An example bushing has three portions along its radial direction including an inner portion most proximal to a central hole of the bushing, an outer portion most distal from the center hole, and a core portion between the inner portion and the outer portion. The core portion has a hardness that is less than the hardness of the inner portion or the outer portion of the bushing. The bushing may be formed using high carbon steel, which in some cases may be spheroidal cementite crystal structure. A rough bushing may be formed using the high carbon steel, followed by a direct hardening process, and an induction hardening process on the inner surface most proximal to the central hole of the bushing. The induction hardening on the inner surface may harden the outer portion while tempering the core portion of the bushing.

Tool steel having strength and high impact toughness

A tool steel having strength and high impact toughness incudes 0.7 to 0.9 wt % of C, 0.4 to 0.6 wt % of Si, 0.4 to 0.6 wt % of Mn, 7.0 to 9.0 wt % of Cr, 1.5 to 2.5 wt % of Mo, up to 1.0 wt % or less (excluding 0 wt %) of V, 0.01 to 0.06 wt % of Ce, and a remainder of Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein the tool steel has a hardness of 59 to 65 HRC and an impact toughness of 30 to 42 J/cm.sup.2. The tool steel has super-high-strength combined with high impact toughness due to inclusion of Ce, thus reducing primary carbide content in an as-cast state and after solution treatment and tempering.
