Chains have been produced for decades using the same methodology: cutting steel wire or bar, bending them into the desired link shape and welding them together with energy intensive processes like resistance or flash butt welding.
The limiting factors of this conventional technology are the shape of the chain links (round) as well as the weldability of the steel grade, which very much depends upon the carbon content and alloying elements.
pewag hero an innovative friction welded chain goes beyond these limits and opens the door to a new world of chains.
