Quick Summary

Figure 1: coil and stud-link chains

A stud-link chain is a type of chain where each link is reinforced with a bar or stud across its interior width. This design, a variation of the coil chain, adds weight and prevents the chain from kinking or deforming. These characteristics make stud-link chains particularly suitable for use as anchor and cable chains on ships. A stud link itself refers to a link of a stud chain or the bracing member within such a link. Stud chains are defined as chains that have links braced with studs.123
