DIN Chain Round link

There are several benefits to using DIN chain in industrial applications. Here are some of the key advantages:

SGB supply professional and honest service.

Strength and durability: DIN chain is made of high-quality alloy steel, which provides excellent tensile strength and corrosion resistance. This makes it ideal for use in heavy-duty applications that require a strong and durable chain.

Resistance to wear and tear: The DIN chain is designed to resist wear and tear, even under heavy use. This helps to extend the lifespan of the chain, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Versatility: DIN chain is available in a variety of sizes and configurations, making it suitable for use in a wide range of industrial applications. It can be used for conveying heavy loads, lifting and hoisting equipment, and more.

Precision engineering: DIN chain is manufactured to strict specifications, ensuring precise dimensions and consistent quality. This helps to ensure reliable performance and reduces the risk of chain failure.

Compatibility with other components: The DIN chain is designed to work seamlessly with other components, such as sprockets and attachments, to form a complete chain drive system. This makes it easy to integrate into existing machinery and equipment.

DIN Round Link Chain is used for Armored Face Conveyors (AFC), Beam Stage Loaders (BSL), road header machines, coal plows and other equipment that requires this type of chain.

2.1 mining chain service conditions

The service conditions of round link chain are: (1) tension force; (2) Fatigue caused by pulsating load; (3) Friction and wear occur between chain links, chain links and chain sprockets, and chain links and middle plates and groove sides; (4) Corrosion is caused by the action of pulverized coal, rock powder and humid air.

The breaking forms of mining chain links can be roughly divided into: (1) the load of the chain exceeds its static breaking load, resulting in premature fracture. This fracture mostly occurs in the defective parts of the chain link shoulder or straight area, such as crack from flash butt welding heat affected zone and individual bar material crack; (2) After running for a period of time, the mining chain link has not reached the breaking load, resulting in the fracture caused by fatigue. This fracture mostly occurs at the connection between the straight arm and the crown of the chain link.

Requirements for mining round link chain: (1) to have high load bearing capacity under the same material and section; (2) to have higher breaking load and better elongation; (3) to have small deformation under the action of maximum loading capacity to ensure good meshing; (4) to have high fatigue strength; (5) to have high wear resistance; (6) to have high toughness and better absorption of impact load; (7) the geometric dimensions to meet the drawing.

Production process of mining chain: bar cutting → bending and knitting → joint → welding → primary proof test → heat treatment → secondary proof test → inspection. Welding and heat treatment are the key processes in the production of mining round link chain, which directly affect the product quality. Scientific welding parameters can improve the yield and reduce the production cost; appropriate heat treatment process can give full play to the material properties and improve the product quality.

In order to ensure the welding quality of mining chain, manual arc welding and resistance butt welding have been eliminated. Flash butt welding is widely used because of its outstanding advantages such as high degree of automation, low labor intensity and stable product quality.

At present, the heat treatment of mining round link chain generally adopts medium frequency induction heating, continuous quenching and tempering. The essence of medium frequency induction heating is that the molecular structure of the object is stirred under the electromagnetic field, the molecules obtain energy and collide to produce heat. During medium frequency induction heat treatment, the inductor is connected with medium frequency AC of a certain frequency, and the chain links moves at a uniform speed in the inductor. In this way, an induced current with the same frequency and opposite direction as the inductor will be generated in the chain links, so that the electric energy can be transformed into heat energy, and the chain links can be heated to the temperature required for quenching and tempering in a short time.

Medium frequency induction heating has fast speed and less oxidation. After quenching, very fine quenching structure and austenite grain size can be obtained, which improves the strength and toughness of the chain link. At the same time, it also has the advantages of cleanliness, sanitation, easy adjustment and high production efficiency. In the tempering stage, the chain link welding zone passes through a higher tempering temperature and eliminates a large amount of quenching internal stress in a short time, which has a very significant effect on improving the plasticity and toughness of the welding zone and delaying the initiation and development of cracks. The tempering temperature at the top of the chain link shoulder is low, and it has higher hardness after tempering, which is conducive to the wear of the chain link during the working process, i.e., the wear between the chain links and the meshing between chain links and the chain sprocket.

(1) The steel for mining high-strength round link chain is developing in the direction of higher strength, higher hardenability, higher plastic toughness and corrosion resistance than 23MnNiMoCr54 steel commonly used in the world. At present, new and patented steel grades have been applied.

(2) The improvement of mechanical properties of mining high-strength round link chain promotes the continuous improvement and perfection of heat treatment method. The reasonable application and accurate control of heat treatment technology is key to improve the mechanical properties of chain. Mining chain heat treatment technology has become the core technology of chain makers.

(3) The size, shape and chain structure of mining high-strength round link chain have been improved and optimized. These improvements and optimizations are made according to the results of chain stress analysis and under the condition that the power of coal mining equipment needs to be increased and the underground space of coal mine is limited.

(4) The increase of the specification of mining high-strength round link chain, the change of structural form and the improvement of mechanical properties promote the correspondingly rapid development of round steel link chain making equipment and technology.
