It's aluminum and open rings so 'probably'. Aluminum being soft doesn't always hold it's form under weight and motion that chain mail gets while being worn so links would have to be checked regularly and maintained. It's also open links, not welded or riveted links so that increases it's 'wear' a bit more. I know steel rings works for this protection but again, this is protection is against penetration and without padding will do nothing to protect against the blunt impact of a piece of steel being shoved in you.
Now, you would be alive and the attacker a bit stunned but you would get poked by the tip which should give you a shot of adrenaline to react with.
