Stainless Steel Roller Chain – Standard Info

Sort 304 Stainless
All parts are created from AISI Variety 304 (18-8) austenitic stainless steel. This materials off ers very good chemical and temperature resistance within a broad choice of diverse applications. Due to the fact Form 304 stainless steel can not be heat treated the mechanical power and wear performance is inferior to typical carbon steel chains.
Sort 316 Stainless
All elements are produced from AISI Variety 316 Molybdenum-bearing stainless steel. The molybdenum gives the alloy greater all round corrosion resistance in contrast with Style 304 stainless steel notably greater resistance to pitting and strain corrosion cracking within the presence of chlorides. Mechanical strength and wear overall performance are equivalent to Style 304 stainless steel chain.
600 Series Stainless
Pins, bushings and rollers are made from 17-4PH stainless steels which can be age hardened for improved resistance to put on elongation. The corrosion resistance of this series is equivalent (though slightly inferior) to Form 304 stainless steel. The operating temperature selection of this material nevertheless can be not as wide as Type 304 stainless steel.
Mega Chain:
All elements are made from AISI Variety 304 (18-8) austenitic stainless steel. Readily available in two versions (Mega Chain and Mega Chain II) which use diff erent bodily confi gurations to get added power that may be similar to that of carbon steel chains. The working loads of those chains are superior to that of normal 304 stainless steel chains resulting from a higher pin/bushing bearing locations. On top of that the two versions possess a distinctive labyrinth style seal style and design that helps prevent the penetration of abrasive foreign elements to the inner sporting components.
