DIN 5685 stainless steel chain is a general-purpose welding chain manufactured according to the German industrial standard DIN 5685. With its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and wide applicability, it is an ideal choice for various non-lifting and general connection scenarios.

1.The DIN 5685 standard covers two main types: short links and long links. Both chains are made of high-quality stainless steel, usually:

2.AISI 304 stainless steel: It has good comprehensive properties and is suitable for most freshwater, indoor and non-chloride corrosion environments. It is an economical choice for daily and general industrial applications.

3.AISI 316/316L stainless steel: The addition of molybdenum significantly enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in harsh conditions rich in chloride ions such as marine environments, chemical industries, and coastal areas. For applications requiring higher corrosion resistance, 316/316L is more preferred.

1. Excellent corrosion resistance: Stainless steel ensures that the chain is not easy to rust or corrode in wet, underwater, chemical contact or salt spray environments, greatly extending the service life.

2. High strength and durability: After precision welding, the chain links are firmly connected, able to withstand the tension and wear in daily use, and maintain structural integrity.

Short link and long link selection:

1. Short link chain: usually has higher unit length load capacity and better flexibility, suitable for scenes that require tighter connections or use in limited spaces.

2. Long link chain: provides larger link spacing, sometimes easier to connect other components, and has better visual effects or less friction resistance in some applications.

1. Shipbuilding and marine engineering: as mooring chains, ship connectors, buoy fixation, dock facilities, and various general chains that need to resist seawater corrosion.

2. Industrial: used for equipment fixing, safety protection fences, isolation areas, pipe support, tool connection, etc.

3. Agricultural use: agricultural machinery and equipment connection, livestock fences, farm implement fixing, etc.

4. Architecture and landscape design: as decorative elements, fences, hanging parts, etc.

5. Daily home and outdoor: gardening, drying, pet chains, door chains and various general fixing needs.

Important：

Although DIN 5685 chains have high strength and durability, please note that chains under this standard are generally not suitable for lifting, hoisting or load-bearing occasions with strict requirements for personal safety. For such applications, be sure to choose a dedicated chain that meets the relevant lifting equipment safety standards and has been professionally tested.
