Brittleness and breakage may occur due to chemical corrosion being added to the usual mechanical abrasion. Chain is effected more by acid than alkali. Electrochemical corrosion caused by sea water or pit water may also occur. In such cases, the following measures are required depending on the extent of the problem. Under Conditions Where Abrasion is a Problem Chain abrasion may occur if strong abrasive materials such as sand, coke, and metal particles get on the chain or when dust is in the air.
Particles can get into the moving parts or the areas where the chain and sprocket engage.
