Galvanized anchor chains are durable marine chains coated with zinc to resist corrosion. They are used to secure vessels by connecting the anchor to the ship, ensuring stability. These chains are known for their strength, longevity, and reliability in harsh marine environments.

Size: 10mm to 150mm diameter

Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or higher (e.g., U3, K3, R3, R4, R5)

Viscosity: Not applicable (N/A) for solid metal chains

Buoyancy: Negative (sinks in water due to high-density steel material)

Material: High-tensile carbon steel or alloy steel, hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance

Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 10mm chain: ~4.5 tons, 50mm chain: ~1,100 tons)

Proof Load: Typically 50% of breaking load

Surface Treatment: Hot-dip galvanized (zinc coating thickness: ~50-100 microns)

Standards: ISO 1704, DIN 766, ABS, LR, DNV, or other classification society certifications

Link Types: Studlink (common) or Studless (for higher strength)

Weight: Varies by size (e.g., 10mm chain: ~2.2 kg/m, 50mm chain: ~55 kg/m)

Elongation: Minimal under load (typically <1% at proof load)

Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced by galvanization, suitable for marine environments
