As a solution, Diamond Chain recommended its Standard Series chain. With the strict standards of the Diamond Difference, Diamond’s Standard Series chains are bar none. From materials to post-assembly, the Diamond Difference ensures a high quality, long lasting product.
Materials – high quality steel with minimal impurities offers increased tensile and fatigue strength
Fabrication – exacting dimensional standards offer optimal performance by ensuring components fit together as precisely as possible
Heat Treatment – strict atmosphere and quench control optimizes material properties to increase strength, durability, and wear resistance
Shot Peening – consistent shot peen intensity and coverage adds a layer of compressive stress that helps components resist fatigue failure when exposed to repeated high loads
Lubrication – proprietary lubrication enhances corrosion protection and lessens the effects of friction to increase chain life
Preloading – pre-stressing the finished product reduces initial “stretching” to extend chain wear life
