Abstract

In this study, we compare the mechanical properties of forged and machined bushings for an excavator track chain. The manufacturing process is explained in detail together with the procedure of making the specimens. The longitudinal tensile strength and elongation and the radial ring compression strength are measured for this comparison. It has been shown that the forged is much better than the machined with regard to both longitudinal tensile strength and radial ring compression strength but that both are the same in terms of longitudinal elongation.
