Default Hub Hardness and Cutting

A friend of mine is helping me redo my brakes and we were having a hard time cutting one of the hubs on the lathe even with a carbide bit. He remarked that "some hubs cut nice, others are very difficult."

This led me to think: why is that? Ford obviously hardened the hubs originally but why are some harder than others?
