Determination of the Influence of an Anticorrosive Layer on the Strength of Link Mining Chains/Określenie Wpływu Warstwy Antykorozyjnej Na Wytrzymałość Łańcuchów Ogniwowych – Górniczych

Using link mining chains is related to the proper way of selecting the type of the chain. The operational parameters of the chain are associated with a risk to the employees who operate haulage systems using scraper conveyors. A complete analysis of operational parameters is possible to be made only after relevant tests are performed. The study presents laboratory test results as well as modeling studies which allowed to determine the influence of the anticorrosive protection of the chain’s surface on its operational parameters.
