(3) Nickel plating may also create hydrogen embrittlement. In an application where a broken chain may create serious damage, WP ® series chain may be a better choice. Of course, safety guards must be installed. (4) Link plates are shot peened for greater fatigue strength. The plating process reduces the effects of shot peening, therefore, the fatigue strength of plated chain is 10 percent less than that of standard chains. (5) Plated Roller Chains are prelubricated with mineral oil after assembly. If the prelubrication is unwanted, advise the manufacturer when ordering.
