Forged chains have been serviced for centuries in the realm of metalworking. These chains hold a special place, showcasing a blend of strength, durability, and intricate craftsmanship.

 The forged chain processing

 The process of forging involves heating metal to a high temperature of over 1000℃, shaping and forming under high pressure to create a chain link. There are 2 types of forging, drop forging- hammer metal into dies, press forging-press hot metal into the die with hydraulic pressure.

 Materials for forged chains:

1. Carbon steel, carbon steel is the most common forging material, it has excellent mechanical behavior, high strength, well toughness, wear resistance and impact resistance.

2. Alloy steel, alloy steel provides better mechanical behaviors than carbon steel, has better high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and hardness.

3. Stainless steel, stainless steel is suitable for mechanical equipment, food machinery and medical instruments, etc, due to its cleanliness, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and wear resistance and strength.

4. Casting steel, casting steel has high mechanical properties, hardness, corrosion resistance, toughness and wear resistance. It is suitable for heavy duty machinery and equipment.

Forged chain applications:

Forged chains have been used in various industries, due to their durability and strength. These chains can be found in many conveying systems and lifting systems, like heavy duty equipment, overhead systems, automobile lines, painting lines, silos, etc.

 Why we choose forged chains?

Forged chains have simple structure, they are made of 1 center chain link, 2 side chain links, and pins, workers can assemble easily without any tools. Simple structure also brings flexible operation, low noise and fewer maintenance costs.

Forged chains are known for high strength and durability, due to the forging process involves heating and shaping, resulting in a stronger material. So forged chains exhibit excellent resistance to corrosion. When these chains applied in the overhead conveying systems, they provide high load capacity.

Forged chains can be customized based on use conditions, different materials, sizes, attachments can be forged to meet the needs of various industries. These chains apply in a wide range of industries, including construction, transportation, and manufacturing.

 Forged chains play a vital role, often overshadowed by more conspicuous components. Their strength, durability, and versatility make them a hero in the industrial landscape. As industries continue to evolve, forged chains will contribute to the progress the progress of various sectors.
