A corrosion-resistant galvanized chain is a type of chain that improves its corrosion resistance by galvanizing the surface of the chain. Galvanized chains not only have the strength and durability of ordinary chains, but also have stronger corrosion resistance, and can be used for a long time in harsh environments without being easy to rust or damage.

1. Core Definition & Product Overview

Dacromet-plated chain (also referred to as "Dacromet anti-corrosion chain") is a high-performance corrosion-resistant variant of roller chains (including standard pitch, double pitch, and hollow pin chains) processed with the Dacromet surface treatment technology. Unlike traditional electroplating (e.g., zinc plating, nickel plating), Dacromet plating forms a dense, non-electrolytic inorganic coating on the chain’s metal surface (pins, bushings, rollers, link plates), providing superior corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and anti-wear performance for harsh working environments.

2. Dacromet Plating Process & Coating Characteristics

2.1 Core Plating Process

The Dacromet coating is composed of zinc-aluminum flake powder (Zn-Al alloy, typical ratio: 80% Zn + 20% Al) and a special inorganic binder. The core process steps are:
  1. Pre-treatment: Degreasing, derusting, and phosphatizing the chain components to remove surface oil, rust, and oxides, ensuring coating adhesion.

  2. Dipping/Spin-Coating: Immersing or spin-coating the cleaned components in Dacromet coating liquid to form a uniform thin film.

  3. Curing: Baking at 300±10℃ for 20-30 minutes to cross-link the coating and form a stable, dense protective layer (thickness: 8-12 μm for standard grade, 15-20 μm for heavy-duty grade).

  4. Post-inspection: Testing coating thickness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance to meet industry standards (e.g., ISO 10683).

2.2 Key Coating Advantages (vs. Traditional Anti-Corrosion Treatments)

Characteristic Dacromet-Plated Chain Zinc-Plated Chain Hot-Dip Galvanized Chain
Corrosion Resistance Salt spray test: ≥1000 hours (no red rust) Salt spray test: 200-500 hours Salt spray test: 500-800 hours
High-Temperature Resistance Stable performance up to 300℃ (no coating peeling) Decomposes at ≥120℃ (zinc oxide formation) Peels at ≥200℃
Coating Adhesion Excellent (resists impact/abrasion, no peeling) Poor (easy to peel under impact) Brittle coating (prone to cracking)
Environmental Friendliness Chromium-free (meets RoHS/REACH standards) Contains hexavalent chromium (restricted in EU/US) High zinc consumption, heavy pollution
Uniformity Coating covers blind holes/gaps (e.g., pin-bushing fit) Uneven coating in blind areas Thick, uneven coating (affects chain fit)

3. Core Performance Parameters

Parameter Category Specification/Value
Base Chain Compatibility Standard roller chain (ANSI 35/40/50, ISO 06B/08B/10B), double pitch chain (08B-2/40H)
Coating Thickness Standard grade: 8-12 μm; Heavy-duty grade: 15-20 μm
Tensile Strength ≥95% of the base chain (coating does not reduce mechanical strength)
Working Temperature -40℃ to +300℃ (continuous operation)
Corrosion Resistance Neutral salt spray test (ASTM B117): ≥1000h (no red rust), ≥2000h (no white rust)
Wear Resistance Coefficient of friction: 0.15-0.20 (10% lower than zinc-plated chain)
Chemical Resistance Resistant to weak acids, alkalis, oil, and most industrial chemicals

4. Typical Application Scenarios

Dacromet-plated chains are designed for harsh environments with high humidity, corrosive media, or temperature fluctuations, and are widely used in:

4.1 Industrial Conveying

  • Seafood processing line conveyors (saltwater corrosion resistance)

  • Chemical plant material conveyors (resistant to acid/alkali mist)

  • Outdoor conveyor systems (rain, UV, and atmospheric corrosion resistance)

4.2 Agricultural Machinery

  • Irrigation equipment transmission chains (humid soil/chemical fertilizer corrosion)

  • Greenhouse automation systems (high humidity, pesticide corrosion)

  • Livestock breeding equipment (ammonia gas, manure corrosion)

4.3 Automotive & Heavy Machinery

  • Automotive chassis auxiliary transmission chains (road salt, water, mud corrosion)

  • Construction machinery (outdoor construction, rain, and concrete slurry corrosion)

  • Marine equipment (saltwater spray, high humidity marine environment)

4.4 Food & Pharmaceutical Industry

  • Food processing lines (cleaning with alkaline/acidic detergents)

  • Pharmaceutical production equipment (sterilization high temperature + chemical disinfection)

5. Installation & Maintenance Notes

  1. Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated warehouse; avoid direct contact with acidic/alkaline substances or sharp objects (to prevent coating damage).

  2. Installation: Do not use excessive force during assembly (e.g., hammering pins) to avoid scratching the coating; ensure sprocket matching (same pitch/spec as base chain).

  3. Lubrication: Use anti-corrosion lubricants (e.g., lithium-based grease with rust inhibitors) to further enhance protection; re-lubricate every 500 hours of operation in harsh environments.

  4. Inspection: Regularly check for coating damage (repair with Dacromet touch-up paint for small areas); replace the chain if coating peeling or red rust occurs over ≥10% of the surface.
