Standard Conveyor Chain–Classification by Surface Treatment

You will discover various choice for heat treatment method and specs for your conveyor chains. Precise solutions might be utilized not just to the chain like a full but to every element separately, such as pins or plates only.
Select preferred combinations in reference on the following explanation of characteristics and makes use of.
Double Guard Coating
The surface is handled with exceptional corrosion resistant coating that approaches the resistance of stainless steel. Double guard coating includes double layers of two different resources. It exhibits nearly doubled corrosive resistance in the salt water spray test compared to our standard large guard coating, and can be used in mild alkaline or mild acidic circumstances up to pH3.
With its improved corrosive resistance, it may possibly be used in situations wherever higher guard or plated coatings cannot be used, and in some cases in some ailments wherever only stainless steel is often made use of.
(Double guard coating can’t be applied to welded components.)
High Guard Coating
Higher guard coated surface has excellent corrosion resistance.
The surface with the chain is completed in non-gloss white really protective coating. It’s excellent resistance to salt corrosion and rusting. This coating protects chains in higher temperatures as it can resist heat up to about 250°C.
Considering that large guard coating acts as a sacrificial anode to the chain entire body, you could expect enough corrosion resistance even if the coating has come off to some extent. Also, it might be applied to welded elements.
It’s suggested for outside use or near the sea in conditions in which functionality as high as that of stainless steel is just not important. In conditions that require resistance to alkaline and acid, double guard or stainless steel coating is recommended as they have improved resistance than higher guard.
Plating
Plating is mainly done with nickel. It really is a coating with each interesting exterior and corrosion resistance. By utilizing it with grease lubrication, it exhibits excellent corrosion resistance. You are able to assume the impact to delay hydrogen brittle destruction when used in circumstances wherever chains are exposed to sea breeze or acidic sprays.
