Although galvanized chains have good corrosion resistance, their corrosion resistance still has certain limitations when used in areas with salt air. Salt is the main factor accelerating corrosion, especially in coastal or salt spray environments, where the zinc protective layer of the galvanized layer is quickly eroded, resulting in a decrease in the durability of the chain. In these environments, galvanized chains may experience more frequent corrosion and wear, and although they are more durable than untreated steel chains, they still require regular inspection and maintenance when exposed to air with high salt content for a long time.
If galvanized chains are exposed to this environment for a long time, it is recommended to choose materials that are more corrosion-resistant, such as stainless steel chains, or to add additional protective measures, such as regular cleaning and coating with rust proof oil, to extend their service life. Therefore, although galvanized chains can be used in areas with saline air, their durability is limited compared to other materials and requires more attention and maintenance.
