Abstract
The forged chain link and flight assembly and method of making same provide for use of a hollow sleeve for engaging link ends together and engaging flights to the link through engagement of a suitable connector through the flights and the sleeve to make the flights easily replaceable. As an alternative embodiment a solid sleeve incorporating threaded ends is also proposed for use in engaging flights to a forged chain link.
