Kiln Chain Material Grade
The right selection of material components will provide the best service life, and prove to be most cost effective over time. Kiln operation temperature, gases and method of firing are the primary elements in the selection of material.

Carbon Steels
In the first section or “cold section” where the normal gas temperature is below 500 degrees Celsius, carbon steel
chains can be installed. If this section is a high wear area we would suggest using a heat treated through hardened
chain and hanger system
Alloy Steels
When compared to carbon steels, alloy steels have higher core hardness and will provide better service in
temperatures ranging from 300 to 500 degrees Celsius.
Ferritic Steels
These material grades are the most resistant to sulphurous gases, but less suitable for nitrating and carburizing
environments. These steels are best suited for kilns that are fired with gas or oil.
Austenitic Cr-Ni Steels
This material is the most resistant to carburizing conditions, but not suited for atmospheres with sulphurous gases
present. Austenitic Manganese Steel is suited for kilns with sulphur containing gases with carburizing conditions.
These chains offer superior toughness and work hardening properties.
