Product Overview
Material Advantages
Adopts high-quality marine special alloy steel round bar, main grades include CM490 (U2 grade). The steel forging process optimizes the internal metal structure, eliminating internal stress and significantly improving the chain's tensile, impact and fatigue resistance.
Stud Link Type
  • Internal reinforcing studs provide stable structure resistant to deformation
  • Suitable for heavy load anchoring of large ships and offshore engineering
  • Nominal diameter range: 12.5mm - 120mm
  • Standard link size: inside length 4D, outside width 3.6D (D = nominal diameter)
  • Standard section length 27.5m, customizable non-standard lengths available
Studless Link Type (Open Link)
  • No internal studs, lighter weight
  • Easy to match with large shackles, avoiding stud loosening faults
  • Nominal diameter range: 12.5mm - 70mm
  • Ideal for medium and small vessels, offshore permanent mooring and auxiliary anchoring
  • Proof load and breaking load meet U2/U3 grade international standards
Manufacturing Process
  1. Raw Material Preparation: Select low-carbon steel wire rod with surface treatment to remove impurities
  2. Chain Forming and Welding: Specialized equipment forms chain links with flash butt welding and shaping
  3. Heat Treatment: Overall tempering treatment to eliminate stress and improve strength
  4. Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Immersion in molten zinc at 440-460℃ for corrosion protection
  5. Final Inspection: Comprehensive quality checks including zinc layer adhesion and dimensional verification

We operate bulk carriers along the Amazon River, where brackish water accelerates corrosion. These 87mm stud link chains with spray paint coating have held up impressively—no rust after 10 months of use. The high-strength alloy steel is tough enough to handle the river’s strong currents, making it a top pick for inland maritime vessels.

The Arctic research vessel is confronted with extreme cold and operations in icy areas. Your company's 130mm 3-level anchor chain made of high-strength alloy steel has excellent resistance to low-temperature impact. The painted layer effectively prevents corrosion from seawater and ice debris, providing a crucial guarantee for the smooth progress of the research mission!

We fitted these 87mm stud link anchor chains on our 20,000 DWT cargo vessel last spring, and the performance has been outstanding. The high-strength alloy steel meets ABS standards, and the spray paint coating has resisted saltwater corrosion flawlessly through six months of coastal voyages. No rust spots, no paint chipping—worth every penny.
