Marin anchor chain is the chain connecting the anchor to the hull to transmit and buffer the external forces of the ship and also have some friction.The high quality anchor chain is divided into cast steel chain, flash welded chain and forged chain.According to Link structure.We have stud link anchor chain and Studless anchor chain.

According to the application .We have marine anchor chain and Marine mooring chain.According to the steel grade.The marine anchor chain has AM1,AM2 and AM3.Marine mooring chain has R3,R3S,R4,R4S,R5 etc...

The main function of marine chain is Connect the anchor and ship and deliver the anchor Resist power to the hull.When we anchoring .The throw anchor has the weight can play a buffer role for the boat in the water to make it more stable .n the same time.This part of the chain can provide a part of the anchorage force due to the blocking effect of the soil.Stud link chain with the rail.When the size and material phase at the same time, the strength of the Stud link chain is bigger than Studless chain, small deformation and pile up is not easy to twist around, It is widely used in large and medium-sized modern ship.The Studless chain without rail in the horizontal only for small vessels.

Cast steel chain strength high, rigid good, deformation small, wear-resisting, horizontal gear is not easy to loosen, the service life is long, and suitable for mass production.The disadvantages are complex process, high cost and poor impact resistance.Flash welded chain is made of round steel materials.It has advanced production technology, simple cost and good quality.Forged chain has good impact toughness, but the manufacturing process is complex, the cost is high and the quality is unstable.

At present.Flash welded chain has been widely used in merchant ships. The chain is almost always made of Flash welded chain and less of cast steel chain. Apart from the cast steel of the chain.The Forged chain has basically been eliminated.
