Baldt Incorporated, Chester, Pa., has introduced a new line of abrasion-resistant chain which was developed for tough marine (ARC-15) and mining (ARC-30) applications. A brochure describing the new product is available from the company.
Composed of specially formulated, high-quality alloy steel, Baldt ARC is a quality-controlled flash-butt-welded chain with structure-welded studs that has a wear life up to three times that of standard chain, depending on actual service conditions.
Tested at a minimum tensile strength of 100,000 psi and a minimum yield strength of 60,000 psi, both ARC-15 and ARC-30 are quenched and tempered in a unique manufacturing process that yields a chain with super-hard casing and a shock-absorbing core.
Both types of chain have been successfully break-tested at more than 744,000 pounds and proof-tested at more than 492,000 pounds for 2½-inch chain.
