Wichard 16MM D "HR" Shackle

 

Shackles are for linking components, and consequently play an essential role in terms of safety aboard - that is the reason why all Wichard shackles are Drop-forged and their technical characteristics are closely controlled during the manufacturing process allowing Wichard to stamp its brand on them with every confidence. HR' stands for High Resistance and the 17.4 PH stainless steel that these shackles are forged from offers the very highest level mechanical performance characteristics. These models are ideal for use on large ocean-going monohulls and multihulls where performance cannot be compromised.

Wichard forges its parts by drop forging, using a forge hammer: an operation which involves forming a heated slug under pressure between two dies.

This technique makes the structure of the metal homogeneous and gives the part strength and elasticity.

The parts are then finished and tested prior to being sold.

Forging guarantees the elasticity of the product, its resistance to corrosion and strength, while optimising the size of the parts.
