Quality and Efficiency Boost with SCM440H Solid Round Steel for Conveyor Chains

1. What is a Conveyor Chain?

A conveyor chain consists of one or more continuous strands running along the length of the conveyor, typically supported by sprockets or guide rails. Its movement ensures that materials placed on the conveyor are transported smoothly, simply, and quickly.

Conveyor chains are widely used in industries such as automotive, motorcycle manufacturing, consumer goods production, livestock and poultry feed manufacturing, mining, cement production, and more.

Currently, commonly used types of conveyor chains include stainless steel chains and plastic chains.

Operating under heavy loads and subjected to friction and wear from conveyor systems, conveyor chains often wear out quickly and generate noise. So, what material is ideal for manufacturing conveyor chains to maximize operational efficiency?

2. Quality and Efficiency Boost with SCM440H Solid Round Steel for Conveyor Chains

Conveyor chains operate continuously in heavy-load environments. Hence, the material used to manufacture them must offer high hardness, exceptional load-bearing capacity, and excellent wear resistance.

Traditionally, conveyor chains are made from S45C solid round steel. However, this material often presents issues such as chain breakage and poor wear resistance, leading to increased material costs for companies.

To address these challenges, SCM440H solid round steel has replaced S45C as the primary material for conveyor chain manufacturing.

Key Advantages of SCM440H for Conveyor Chains

- Improved Composition: Manufacturers have added Nickel to SCM440H, enhancing its hardness and oxidation resistance.

- Balanced Properties: The combination of Chromium and Molybdenum ensures a perfect balance between hardness and ductility, reducing the likelihood of rail bar breakage.

- Enhanced Performance: High wear resistance and excellent load-bearing capacity increase the conveyor chain's lifespan and boost the production line's efficiency.

With these outstanding features, SCM440H solid round steel is the ideal material for conveyor chains. It not only replaces S45C and other carbon steels but also eliminates the need for frequent reprocessing, saving costs and increasing profitability for manufacturers.
