What are the differences in performance and usage of stainless steel chains made of different materials?

Stainless steel chain, as a common power transmission device, is designed with a hyperbolic arc "chain" to reduce friction. It is used in places with high power but slow running speed, and has obvious advantages over belt transmission, such as tanks, pneumatic compressors, etc. However, the transmission speed cannot be too fast because the flexibility of the chain is not as good as that of belt transmission.
Classified by Material:
1. Made of high-quality products 1Cr18Ni9Ti or SS304 stainless steel, it has the characteristics of acid resistance, alkali resistance, cold and hot resistance, and long service life. It is widely used in food, chemical, pharmaceutical, rubber, printing, silk cutting and other machinery, and is matched with various import and export machinery. It is an excellent equipment for modern equipment.
2. Austenitic stainless steel chain series, such as 304, 316, and 316L materials, have excellent corrosion resistance in acid, alkali, and high and low temperature environments ranging from -40 ° C to 600 ° C. Compared to others, 316L has better diamagnetism, adaptability to harsh temperatures, and chemical corrosion resistance.
3. The martensitic stainless steel chain series, such as 2Cr13, not only has appropriate anti-corrosion ability, but also has the strength of carbon steel with the same carbon content.
Stainless steel chains are particularly suitable for fields that require corrosion resistance, cleanliness, or certain chemicals, as well as high and low temperature applications.
