Why not use stainless steel for motorcycle chain?

Stainless steel is not hard enough. Hardness (rigidity) should be considered first for chain, otherwise it will wear quickly, and strengthening hardness will increase carbon content. However, high carbon steel is more prone to rust than steel, while stainless steel is mixed with other components (such as metal chromium up to 17%), which seriously affects the hardness of the material and cannot be used to make chain. Motorcycle is a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle driven by gasoline engine, and its front wheel is controlled by handlebar. It is light, flexible and fast. It is widely used in patrol, passenger transport and freight transport, and also as sports equipment. Generally speaking, motorcycles can be divided into street cars, road racing cars, cross-country motorcycles, cruise cars, station wagons and so on.
