Welded Chain

Welded chain is the standard form of steel chain used across security, load securing, rigging, and general utility applications - each link is formed from steel rod and electrically resistance-welded at the joint, creating a continuous link without a mechanical closure that could open under load. At the DIY Hardware Store, our welded chain covers the mild steel and galvanised chain used in domestic security, agricultural, construction, and general engineering applications.

The welded construction ensures that every link has the same structural integrity as the bar stock it was formed from - there are no weak points at the joint that could open or fail under tension. This makes welded chain the correct specification for any application where the chain will be subjected to sustained or shock loading, as opposed to decorative chain where appearance matters more than structural performance. Galvanised welded chain is the appropriate choice for outdoor applications where long-term corrosion resistance is required.

Available in mild steel (bright zinc plated) and hot-dip galvanised finishes at the DIY Hardware Store, in multiple link diameters from 4mm to 13mm for the full range of domestic, agricultural, and light industrial applications.
