Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Superb resistance to corrosion and heat that enables use in pretty much everywhere
You will discover two types of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS form has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. Nevertheless, it truly is manufactured totally of austenite stainless steel and as a result its tensile strength is somewhat reduced than 70% of a typical roller chain, and maximum allowable load drops to a little over 10%.
By using precipitation hardened stainless steel to the pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK variety has 1.5 times larger optimum allowable load in contrast towards the SS form. Decide on SSK whenever you want much more power than SS, or need longer product or service daily life.
The two sorts have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Advised makes use of
?Conditions exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. Several chemical plats and water therapy plants.
?Ailments of substantial temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Variety of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has reduced average tensile power and optimum allowable load in contrast to your typical roller chain.
Connecting links and offset back links
R connecting backlinks are made use of for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller and C connecting back links for #80 or more substantial. 2POJ offset backlinks are employed for sizes #25, and OJ back links for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Regular sprockets for Stainless Steel chains might be applied since the dimensions will be the identical as common roller chains.
Caution
As a standard residence of stainless steel, strain corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion can be brought about by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on proper demonstrates the data of tests within the degree of corrosion resistance for every medium and won’t assure the overall performance on the chains. Please think about the problems, temperature, level and also other total scenario when employing.
