Stainless Steel Chain (SS/SSK)

Superb resistance to corrosion and heat that enables use in pretty much all over the place
There are two forms of Stainless Steel Chain: SS and SSK. The SS variety has the highest resistance to corrosion and heat. Having said that, it is manufactured fully of austenite stainless steel and as a result its tensile strength is somewhat lower than 70% of a typical roller chain, and optimum allowable load drops to slightly more than 10%.
By utilizing precipitation hardened stainless steel for the pins, bushes and rollers, the SSK form has one.five instances increased optimum allowable load in contrast towards the SS sort. Choose SSK if you need to have extra strength than SS, or want longer solution existence.
Each types have equivalent corrosion resistance.
Advised employs
?Circumstances exposed to mild alkaline and mild acidic
chemical agents, sea water and wastewater. A variety of chemical plats and water therapy plants.
?Circumstances of substantial temperature
Heat-treating furnaces, dry furnaces, incinerators
Selection of chains
Stainless Steel Chain has lower average tensile strength and greatest allowable load in contrast to your normal roller chain.
Connecting backlinks and offset backlinks
R connecting back links are used for Stainless Steel Chains #60 or smaller and C connecting back links for #80 or bigger. 2POJ offset backlinks are utilised for sizes #25, and OJ links for all other sizes.
Sprockets
Conventional sprockets for Stainless Steel chains is usually employed because the dimensions will be the exact same as normal roller chains.
Caution
Being a general residence of stainless steel, pressure corrosion
cracking and pitting corrosion can be triggered by chlorine and chlorine ion (CR-).
The chart on appropriate shows the information of tests to the amount of corrosion resistance for each medium and won’t guarantee the effectiveness from the chains. Please take into consideration the ailments, temperature, level and also other general circumstance when employing.
