Chain | short link | Duplex 1.4462 | DIN 766
Calibrated anchor chain in Duplex 1.4462 is intended for marine applications where high mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance are required. The product is manufactured with short links according to DIN 766 and is calibrated for use with windlasses and chain wheels adapted for DIN 766. Duplex 1.4462 features a balanced austenitic-ferritic structure that provides high strength, very good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, and a long service life in demanding marine environments. The material is also suitable for use in warm seawater up to 30 °C.
AREA OF USE
The product is used in recreational boating, commercial shipping, offshore, port facilities, and other marine installations where a calibrated anchor chain with high corrosion resistance is required. The choice of material provides high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, while the high mechanical strength contributes to a long service life even under demanding operating conditions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What does it mean that the anchor chain is calibrated?
A calibrated anchor chain has been manufactured with strictly controlled dimensions and tolerances to function correctly with windlasses and chain wheels designed for DIN 766.
Why choose Duplex 1.4462 instead of A4?
Duplex 1.4462 has higher mechanical strength and better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion than traditional acid-proof stainless steel such as 1.4401, 1.4404, and 1.4571. This makes the material particularly suitable for marine environments and underwater applications.
Can the anchor chain be used in warm seawater?
Yes. Duplex 1.4462 is suitable for use even in warm seawater up to 30 °C, where the material maintains its high corrosion resistance.
Is this anchor chain intended for marine environments?
Yes. It is developed for use in marine environments, offshore, and other applications where high corrosion resistance and long service life are essential.
