Stainless steel Rings, Triangles and D-Rings

What is the difference between AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel? Which is better for a boat?

AISI 316 contains molybdenum, which makes it significantly more resistant to chloride corrosion (such as sea salt) than AISI 304. For nautical applications, AISI 316 is always the best choice.

How can I clean stainless steel rings to keep them shiny?

Use a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive products that could scratch the surface. Regular washing with fresh water helps prevent the formation of rust stains.

Can I use these steel rings to lift weights?

It depends on the specific model. Always check the maximum load capacity indicated by the manufacturer. For lifting heavy loads, use certified lifting eye bolts specifically designed for this purpose.

What is the correct way to attach a stainless steel ring to a surface?

The method of attachment depends on the type of surface and the expected load. In general, it is advisable to use stainless steel bolts, screws, or rivets of adequate size. Make sure the hole is the correct size and that the fastener is securely anchored to the surface.

Are stainless steel rings suitable for use with chains?

Yes, stainless steel rings can be used with chains, provided that the dimensions of the ring are compatible with those of the chain and the maximum working load of the ring is sufficient to support the weight of the chain and the load connected to it. Always check the technical specifications of both components.

How can I protect stainless steel rings from galvanic corrosion?

Galvanic corrosion occurs when two different metals are in contact in an electrolytic environment (such as salt water). To prevent it, you can use dielectric insulators between the two metals, such as rubber gaskets or plastic washers. It is also advisable to use specific products for protection against galvanic corrosion.

Where can I find the technical specifications of stainless steel rings?

Technical specifications, such as wire diameter, inner diameter, width, and maximum working load, are generally indicated on the product packaging or in the technical data sheet provided by the manufacturer. If in doubt, contact our customer service for assistance.
