325 full chisel chains are typically made of high-quality alloy steel, which not only provides excellent wear resistance, but also ensures the reliability of the chain when subjected to heavy loads. In contrast, some standard chains may be manufactured from carbon steel or stainless steel, which, while also offering reasonable durability, may not be as good as alloy steel under certain extreme operating conditions. In addition, the design of fully chiseled chains generally increases bending and tensile resistance, making them suitable for high-load applications.
Structurally, the 325 full chisel chain has a finer chisel shape, a design that allows for better load distribution and reduced stress concentration at the link. This feature enables the 325 full chisel chain to exhibit greater stability and durability when performing heavy duty tasks such as pulling, towing or fixing. In contrast, some low-cost chains may have a basic circular or oval link design, and fatigue damage may occur more quickly under complex or variable loads.
