    摘要: The present invention refers to a method for manufacturing a track link for a running gear of a tracked vehicle, comprising the following method steps:
    P1) providing a forging blank of steel,
    P2) hot forging the forging blank to produce a track link blank and hot trimming of the track link blank to form at least a wheel tread part of the track link blank,
    P3) quenching the track link blank to a temperature T1,
    P4) low temperature tempering the track link blank at a temperature of approximately 200 °C,
    P5) finish machining the tempered track link blank to produce the final shape of the track link. In order to invention to provide a track link production method which allows the cost efficient and lean production of track links, wherein the track link material has high hardness, high tensile strength and high toughness in combination with each other, it is suggested that the steel of the forging blank has the following composition (in % by weight):
    0,25 - 0,33 % Carbon (C),
    0.75 - 1.05 % Manganese (Mn),
    0.15 - 0.35 % Silicon (Si),
    0.75 - 0.85 % Molybdenum (Mo),
    0.65 - 0.95 % Chromium (Cr),
    0.65 - 0.95 % Nickel (Ni),
    0.02 - 0.05 % Niobium (Nb),

    optionally up to a maximum of 0.015 % Phosporus (P),
    optionally up to a maximum of 0.005 % Sulphur (S),
    optionally up to a maximum of 0.2 % Copper (Cu),
    optionally up to a maximum of 0.005 % Calcium (Ca),
    the balance being iron and unavoidable impurities.
