Aluminum anchor chains are lightweight, corrosion-resistant alternatives to traditional steel chains. They are commonly used in marine applications where weight reduction is crucial. These chains offer good strength and durability while being easier to handle.

Size: 10mm to 130mm diameter

Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or equivalent marine-grade aluminum

Viscosity: Not applicable (solid material)

Buoyancy: Lighter than steel, approximately 1/3 the weight of equivalent steel chains

Material: High-strength aluminum alloy (e.g., 5083, 6061, or similar marine-grade alloys)

Corrosion Resistance: High, due to aluminum's natural oxide layer

Tensile Strength: Varies by grade, typically 200-350 MPa

Working Load: Depends on size and grade, ranging from 1 ton to over 100 tons

Surface Treatment: Anodized or coated for enhanced durability

Certification: Meets ISO 1704, ABS, DNV, or other marine standards
