    best grade of stainless steel for conveyor chain application

    Hey Will, You are absolutely correct. Since there are two mating pieces, one a convex radii and the other a concave radii, rubbing together under fairly heavy loads any chipping or spalling debris introduced between the two surfaces accelerates wear and critically reduces the life of the chain...

    best grade of stainless steel for conveyor chain application

    I am in the process of doing that right now. A sample of my competitor's product is being sent to me and I will have it analyzed to determine the grade being used but with new technologies and improvements in materials, it certainly doesn't hurt to explore new possibilities. Thanks for the interest.

    best grade of stainless steel for conveyor chain application

    Thanks a bunch for this info. I was keeping away from the 300 series materials because of the galling and potential poor wear ability issues but had not found the "Nitronic 40". but it sounds like it may have some good potential. We totally understand that we will not be able to replicate the...

    best grade of stainless steel for conveyor chain application

    The company I work for manufactures drop forged rivetless chain for overhead conveyor systems ie; X 348, X 458, and X 678 chain. This chain is comprised of (3) components: a male link, a pair of female links, and connecting pins, which are all drop forged out of Carbon and Alloy steel and then...
