Evaluation of Four Drive Chains for Service in Sea Water.

Abstract

Four types of drive chains (two roller chains and two leaf chains) were evaluated for use in sea water environment. The chain pins were tested in static three-point bend tests. Sections of the chains were cyclicly loaded to failure after being sustained under static loading for two or four weeks in sea water. The strongest 3 x 4 leaf chain also provided the longest life at the chosen cyclic loads. (Author)
