Splicing Chain

I currently have 50ft of 5/16 chain and 300ft of 3/4 rode on a 35# CQR and 15ft of chain and 200ft of 3/4 rode on a 35# delta
I would like to add 50ft of chain to the CQR but am concerned as to how to do this and now the integrity of the splice is good and also get it thru my windlass. Do I have to buy all new chain , have a link welded for the splice or can I use a mechanical link. while the last choice appears to be compatible with the windlass will it be structurally effective?
