Ball Chain

There are some things you’ll want to consider before deciding on the right material for a pull chain. Most chains are made from nickel plated, stainless, and carbon steel. Nickel plated steel chains are less expensive, yet provide a long-lasting, strong connection. If you need something more durable, stainless steel is a better choice. It’s resistant to corrosion and is ideal for applications where the chain is exposed to moisture. Stainless steel chains are more aesthetically pleasing for jewelry since they can be polished to a bright finish. Carbon steel chains are harder and hold up best under pressure. The length of the chain is important, although most chains can be cut with wire cutters to the desired length. The size of the beaded balls will affect the overall strength of the pull chain. A size #1 chain is the smallest size available and is primarily used for jewelry. The largest size available is #50 which is best for large industrial applications. The color and finish of your beaded ball chain will determine its appearance. Nickel plated steel chains are typically silver in color, while stainless steel chains have a polished or brushed finish. Some chains have a copper or black coating. Consider the color and finish of the chain when selecting a product to make sure it fits with the overall design and aesthetics of the pull chain.
