Affordable Stainless Steel Chain

  Stainless steel chains have been used around for over a thousand years. It is one of the most reliable and adaptable ways to lift, tension and tie-down materials in a variety of applications. In the past, people used a different type of chain to lift-up something, tie down a load or tow a vehicle. In current years, several manufacturing industries do research and differentiate various materials and grades of the chain. They understand the specific need and application of the different chains. Based on that they produce versatile, durable and   affordable stainless steel chain   products that continue to increase around the world year after year. Chain made of iron is a metal or an element which is pretty reactive or rusts easily. But steel chains are the iron-carbon alloy which is much stronger than iron while still being reasonably easy to work with and shape. The carbon portion of steel is the most crucial factor in determining its strength. The ratio of iron to carbo...

Using 316-grade Stainless Steel chain is a wise idea

The most commonly used chain metals in industrial or marine or construction of yachts, marine structures, and fittings are stainless steel. 316-grade Stainless-steel  chain is recognized as the premium material for marine applications. The stainless-steel chain is the best for its excellent corrosion resistance, luster , strength, and stiffness in seawater. It also needs less maintenance. Many marine applications of 316 stainless steel chains are commonly termed marine-grade stainless in the current industry standard. It offers a solution to around 90% of marine applications. Grades 316 is austenitic stainless steel and it is known for its unique metallurgical structure. It will give an excellent ductility, good strength, non-magnetic properties, good weldability, and corrosion resistance. Let’s discuss a few benefits of using grade 316 stainless steel chain. Erosion resistant  properties Due to the addition of molybdenum (chemical element with the symbol Mo and atomic num...
