How to distinguish stainless steel chain and galvanized chain

From the appearance, the two types of surfaces are white. In terms of performance, both types of surfaces have good corrosion resistance and rust resistance. There seems to be no difference, but in fact there is a big difference in essence.

The surface of the galvanized chain is treated with a layer of galvanized, and this layer of the galvanized film mainly plays an insulating role, isolating air and water, thereby preventing corrosion and rusting. The stainless steel adopts the overall anti-rust treatment, not the surface isolation treatment method, but enhances its corrosion resistance through nickel-chromium elements.

In addition, there is a certain difference in the appearance of the two. Although they are both silver-white, the surface of the stainless steel chain is brighter, while the galvanized chain is more blurred.
