Great resistance to corrosion and heat that permits use in virtually everywhere
You can find two sorts of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS type has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. Nonetheless, it is actually made fully of austenite stainless steel and therefore its tensile strength is somewhat decrease than 70% of the standard roller chain, and optimum allowable load drops to a bit in excess of 10%.
By using precipitation hardened stainless steel for your pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK style has 1.5 instances larger highest allowable load in contrast on the SS form. Choose SSK once you want more strength than SS, or want longer merchandise existence.
The two sorts have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Recommended utilizes
?Circumstances exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Many chemical plats and water remedy plants.
?Problems of substantial temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Collection of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has reduced normal tensile strength and optimum allowable load in contrast for the regular roller chain.
Connecting back links and offset links
R connecting links are applied for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller and C connecting backlinks for #80 or bigger. 2POJ offset backlinks are made use of for sizes #25, and OJ backlinks for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Typical sprockets for Stainless Steel chains might be made use of because the dimensions would be the very same as regular roller chains.
Caution
As a general property of stainless steel, pressure corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion is usually brought on by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on right shows the information of exams on the level of corrosion resistance for every medium and does not assure the efficiency from the chains. Please think about the conditions, temperature, level and various overall predicament when employing.
