I'm working on a conveyor track that needs to be very strong (190ksi), wear resistent and corrosion resistant(located on a ships deck)...
The two options I am thinking of are using 440C or using 17-4PH with a stellite coating. I'm concerned that the coating may crack and also create a galvanic...
I was concerned that a polymer would not be dimensionaly stable enough. We'd like to keep the tolerences pretty tight. The chain material is a high strength steel I think 4140. The chain portion is a vertical conveyor which is linked and is pulled through the track near vertically. There we...
