CHAIN PIN FOR HINGE CONVEYOR CHAINS

摘要

The invention relates to the use of steel alloys in chain modules of hinge conveyor chains, in particular to alloys of stainless steel for use in such chain modules manufactured from stainless steel. A chain module according to the invention comprises at least one link from ferritic-pearlitic stainless steel and at least one chain pin, which chain pin comprises a steel alloy which is substantially non-seizing to the ferritic-pearlitic stainless steel of said link. The chain pin comprises a steel alloy with more than 0.6 wt.% of carbon and more than 12 wt.% of chromium.
