The lifting chain is a chain that can be widely used in mines, with high safety. However, the chain cannot be welded for use. Let's conduct a detailed analysis below.
The lifting chain is composed of multiple links, each with a specified size and pitch. Above the same lifting chain, these data should be equal. However, if welded, the data of the welded link will differ from that of other unwelded links, which will affect the service life of the entire lifting chain.
1, The welded chain will have obvious marks, but during the lifting process, the chain runs inside the lifting sprocket. Increasing the data of the chain link will increase the wear of the chain and sprocket, reducing its service life.
2, Welding can damage the integrity of the chain, and during lifting work, the load-bearing capacity of the welding area will be weakened, increasing the risk of chain breakage.
