The Stainless Steel Link Chain (manufactured to DIN 763 or DIN 766 standards) is the ultimate solution for heavy-duty lifting, mooring, and security applications in corrosive environments. Unlike galvanized steel chains that eventually rust and fail, our Stainless Steel Link Chain is forged from premium austenitic stainless steel, providing lifetime durability for playground swings, boat anchors, and architectural barriers.
Product Overview: Our Stainless Steel Link Chain is available in A2 (304) for general outdoor use and A4 (316) for marine submersion. Each link is TIG welded and polished to a mirror finish, ensuring maximum tensile strength and aesthetic appeal.

Engineering Insight: DIN 763 vs DIN 766
Choosing the right Stainless Steel Link Chain standard is critical:
- DIN 763 (Long Link): The links are elongated. This chain is NOT calibrated for lifting winches (windlasses) because the link length can vary slightly. It is ideal for static loads like barrier chains, hanging signs, and playground equipment.
- DIN 766 (Short Link): The links are compact and calibrated to precise dimensions. This is mandatory for anchor windlasses and chain hoists where the chain must fit perfectly into a sprocket wheel (gypsy).
Why Choose Stainless Steel Link Chain?
In marine environments, standard steel chains degrade rapidly. A Stainless Steel Link Chain offers:
- Self-Healing: The chromium oxide layer on the surface heals itself if scratched, preventing rust from spreading.
- Hygiene: In food processing plants, stainless chains can be steam-cleaned without corroding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this chain load-rated?
A: Our chains are tested for Breaking Load, but for critical overhead lifting, you should always consult the specific Safe Working Load (SWL) chart, typically a 4:1 safety factor.
Q: Can I cut it with bolt cutters?
A: Small diameters (up to 6mm) can be cut. Larger diameters (8mm+) are extremely tough and usually require an angle grinder.
Need Chain by the Drum?
Handan Bolt sells Stainless Steel Link Chain in bulk drums or cut-to-length pieces. We also stock connecting links, shackles, and snap hooks.
