I was wondering if it was safe to use as a chain. If not, how can I remove the chrome?
Thanks

safe in which context? heat transfer? chemical reactivity? stress/strain? toxicity?

i cannot think of why it wouldnt be safe for normal spinning.

from memory, the advantages of chrome plate would be zero corrosion, and it would look shiny and pretty.

Chrome plated steel might give off some fumes as the chrome peels off due to the heat, same for galvanized. The fumes might give you a headache, but even that is highly unlikely if you burn in 'a well ventilated area' wink

Can't say I know anything about the integrity of the steel itself...

Chrome plated chain should be just fine. You shouldn't get any fumes (unlike with galvanised).

I use chrome plated dog chain, it is fine, though does rust after a while.
