Materials
Materials And Finishes
- High carbon steel for high tensile strength and wear resistance
- Mild steel for general-purpose applications with lower cost and moderate strength
- Stainless steel for use in corrosive environments where galvanization is insufficient
- Hot dip galvanized coating for long-term corrosion protection in outdoor and marine use
- Electro-galvanized finish for a smoother, thinner protective layer in indoor or low-corrosion settings
- Self-color finish for bare steel chains where coating is not required or where additional coating is applied later
Manufacturing Process
How This Product Is Made

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Non-standard welded chain | DIN 764 ensures consistent dimensions and load capacity, reducing fit and safety risks in critical applications |
| Rope or synthetic webbing | Chain offers superior abrasion resistance and durability in high-wear environments but is heavier and less flexible |
| Overhead lifting chain | DIN 764 is not rated for overhead lifting; lifting chains require different standards like EN 818-2 or ASME B30.26 |
| Open link chain | Welded link chain resists elongation and deformation under load better than open link chains |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect DIN 764 Link Chain
- Verify the working load limit is not exceeded based on the chain size and application
- Do not use for overhead lifting; this chain is not certified for lifting operations
- Inspect welds and surface finish before use, especially after exposure to corrosive environments
- Use with compatible fittings and accessories to maintain system integrity
- Avoid sharp bends or side loading that can stress the weld joints
- Replace chain if welds show cracks, elongation exceeds tolerance, or surface coating is severely damaged
- Store in dry conditions to prevent premature corrosion, especially for self-color or electro-galvanized finishes
