A track link (24) for a ground-engaging track (16) includes an elongate link body (24) having a lower hardness material (34) forming a lower mounting surface (26) for mounting a track shoe (28), and a sacrificial higher hardness material (36) forming an upper rail surface (30) for contacting rotatable track engaging elements (11, 15). The lower hardness and higher hardness materials (34, 36) transition at a material interface (38) within the elongate link body (24), and the material interface (38) is longitudinally non-uniform, such that the sacrificial higher hardness material (36) has a varying depth from the upper rail surface (30) to retard scalloping.
