How Strong Is Welded Chain?

Welded chain is an excellent choice for industrial use because of its increased strength. Its strength-to-weight ratio is much better than that of standard steel chains.  Higher carbon-content steel is also used to make welded chains. The resulting chain has high tensile strength but is not as heavy as a standard steel chain. Because of […]
