Cleaning our good old USA manufactured chain yesterday, I noticed this pitting. This chain is less than a year old, the galvanizing is almost nearly gone and now this.
Have any of you seen anything like this on chain before? Could this be casting flaws, little bits of impurities in the manufacturing process? It looks like nothing so much as little holes left by small bugs; chain mites.
I forgot to mention that this chain is being used daily as my anchor chain.
