Application: Anchor chain cable is joined by many links. Due to the presence of stud in the middle of a link, anchor chain cable is divided into stud link chain and studless link chain. Anchor chains can be processed through the below steps: cutting bars, heating, bending, welding, trimming, stud setting, heat treatment, proof and breaking load test, optical crosstalk, dipping lacquer.  Marine anchor chain consists of a number of “shackles ” with the length of 25.0m or 27.5m. Every two shackles are connected by a Kenter shackle or D joining shackle. A Kenter shackle is used to connect two chains with common links; a D joining shackle is used to connect two chains with end link on both sides.
