STAINLESS STEEL 316 Anchor Chain

Product Description:

Material Advantages:

Manufacturing Process:

Stainless Steel 316 Anchor Chain, also known as 316 stainless steel anchor chain, is a high-performance marine hardware product. The following is a product description:

- **Material Characteristics**: Made of high-quality AISI 316 stainless steel, it boasts excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. Compared to ordinary stainless steel, 316 stainless steel contains added molybdenum, which enhances its corrosion resistance in harsh environments such as seawater, ensuring the anchor chain maintains its excellent performance over long-term use.

- **Specifications**: Available in various sizes. Common link diameters include 8mm, 10mm, and 13mm, corresponding to imperial dimensions of 5/16", 3/8", and 1/2" respectively. Chain lengths are also available in options such as 10 feet, 15 feet, and 30 feet. Some products are equipped with corresponding shackles; for example, a 13mm link anchor chain may be equipped with a 9/16" (14mm) bow shackle.

- **Manufacturing Standards**: Compliant with relevant industry standards, such as ISO G43 and the requirements of the National Association of Chain Manufacturers (NACM), ensuring products meet the highest industry standards in safety, reliability, and performance. For example, MarineNow's G43 chains fully comply with ISO G43, with a working load limit (WLL) of 6500 lbs and a breaking load (BL) of 26000 lbs for its 1/2" chain.

- **Surface Treatment**: Typically polished, such as mirror polishing, this not only enhances the appearance of the anchor chain but also further improves its corrosion resistance, reducing the erosion of the chain surface by seawater and other pollutants. The smooth surface also effectively prevents wear and tear on the hull and other equipment during use.

Features:

316 stainless steel anchor chains possess numerous advantages, including strong corrosion resistance, high strength, and excellent compatibility. Here is a detailed introduction:

- **Excellent Corrosion Resistance:** Containing molybdenum, 316 stainless steel forms a dense passivation film in harsh environments such as seawater, effectively resisting corrosion, especially pitting and crevice corrosion, making it suitable for long-term use in marine environments.

- **High Strength and Toughness:** Through appropriate manufacturing processes and heat treatment, 316 stainless steel anchor chains provide sufficient tensile strength and impact toughness to withstand the enormous tensile forces generated by ships during anchoring, ensuring reliability in harsh sea conditions.

- **Good Compatibility:** Compatible with almost all types of marine anchors, such as claw anchors, box anchors, fluke anchors, delta anchors, and bruce anchors, offering a wide range of applications.

- **Safe and Reliable Connection:** Typically equipped with high-quality shackles, such as bow shackles, and the D-pins of the shackles have a locking function to prevent accidental detachment and anchor loss, ensuring a stable connection.

- **Superior Surface Treatment:** Generally polished, such as mirror polishing, this not only enhances the anchor chain's appearance but also further reduces the corrosive effects of seawater on the chain surface. The smooth surface also prevents wear and tear on the hull and other equipment.

- **Compliance with Stringent Standards:** Complies with relevant industry standards, such as ISO G43 and DIN 766, ensuring the product's safety, reliability, and performance are authoritatively certified.

- **Low Maintenance Costs:** Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, 316 stainless steel anchor chains require relatively little maintenance in daily use, reducing repair and replacement costs caused by rust and corrosion.

Applications:

- **Application Scenarios**: Widely used in anchoring systems for various vessels, including fishing boats, yachts, merchant ships, and warships, ensuring stability while moored. It is also suitable for securing and stabilizing offshore drilling platforms, floating docks, and other marine engineering equipment, as well as other areas requiring high strength and corrosion resistance, such as docks and port facilities.

316 stainless steel anchor chains are widely used in various fields due to their excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. The following are their main application scenarios:

- **Ship Anchoring**: This is the most common application scenario for 316 stainless steel anchor chains, suitable for various types of vessels, including yachts, sailboats, merchant ships, and fishing vessels. In yachts and sailboats, their aesthetic appeal and low maintenance meet the owner's requirements for both appearance and performance. In merchant ships and fishing vessels, their high strength and corrosion resistance ensure safe anchoring in various sea conditions.

- **Marine Engineering**: In marine engineering facilities such as offshore drilling platforms and offshore wind power platforms, 316 stainless steel anchor chains can be used for platform positioning and fixation. They can operate stably for extended periods in harsh marine environments, resisting seawater corrosion and the impact of waves.

- **Ports and Docks**: They can be used in dock mooring systems, such as mooring chains connecting ships to the dock, and in lifting and hoisting operations in port facilities, such as lifting containers and heavy equipment. Their high strength and corrosion resistance ensure safe and reliable operations.

- **Marine Aquaculture:** In marine aquaculture, 316 stainless steel anchor chains can be used to secure aquaculture cages, ensuring their stability in currents and waves, while also resisting seawater corrosion and extending the cages' lifespan.

- **Water Recreation Facilities:** For floating structures in water parks and pontoon bridges at docks, 316 stainless steel anchor chains can be used to secure and connect these facilities, ensuring their stability and safety in the water. Their aesthetic appeal also complements the overall style of the water recreation facilities.
