How Anchor Chains for the Largest Ships on Earth are Made



Ever wondered how the giant anchor chains used on ships are actually made?
In this video we follow the whole journey: heating steel until it’s glowing, bending and closing each link, welding and trimming the flash, then heat-treating and testing the chain so it won’t fail at sea. You’ll see presses, hammers, proof-load tests, and the small checks that make a huge difference, like measuring every link before the final finish.

If you’re into metalwork, heavy industry, or just love watching big machines do precise work, you’ll enjoy this one.

Made in China. It's a shame this is not a U.S. venture
