Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Fantastic resistance to corrosion and heat that allows use in practically everywhere
You can find two styles of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS style has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. Nonetheless, it really is made totally of austenite stainless steel and as a result its tensile power is somewhat lower than 70% of a normal roller chain, and optimum allowable load drops to just a little in excess of 10%.
By using precipitation hardened stainless steel for the pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK form has one.five times greater optimum allowable load compared on the SS type. Decide on SSK if you require much more power than SS, or desire longer item existence.
Each types have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Advised employs
?Disorders exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Different chemical plats and water remedy plants.
?Disorders of higher temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Variety of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has reduce normal tensile strength and highest allowable load compared towards the regular roller chain.
Connecting backlinks and offset hyperlinks
R connecting backlinks are employed for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller sized and C connecting backlinks for #80 or greater. 2POJ offset back links are utilized for sizes #25, and OJ backlinks for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Common sprockets for Stainless Steel chains is often made use of since the dimensions are the very same as typical roller chains.
Caution
As being a basic residence of stainless steel, stress corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion is usually triggered by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on proper exhibits the data of tests around the level of corrosion resistance for each medium and isn’t going to assure the overall performance on the chains. Please consider the situations, temperature, level together with other general problem when applying.
