The steel rod from which the wire is drawn is produced by the open hearth, electric furnace or basic oxygen process. AluminizedĪluminum coated steel chain link fence fabric is made by cold drawing good commercial grade steel rod into wire of the appropriate diameter. This ensures that all the wire is coated, even the cut ends created during the weaving process. This process forms or weaves chain-link into a fabric first, and then soaks it in a large galvanized bath which adheres the zinc coating. The weaving process creates an exposed cut end that will lack coating and be more apt to some minor rust in wet and severe weather conditions. In this process, the wire is pre-galvanized before it is formed into a fabric. “wire”) is manufactured by Master Halco at several US locations.
