Stainless steel ball chain is Very good with correct sizing. Excellent longer life abrasion and corrosion resisting properties. Stainless steel has a much lower (1/3) thermal conductivity than regular steel and will heat up slower under a flame. Benefits of stainless steel include: Corrosion resistance, Fire and heat resistance (retains strength), attractive appearance, strength to weight advantage, high impact resistance, and longer life. so welcomed by more and more POI players.
