Aluminized Steel Chain Link Wire Fence

Aluminized chain link fence is written as Aluminum Chain Link Fence sometimes and cause confusion for users. How to choose aluminized chain link from the real aluminum one? In another word, what is aluminized chain link and its advantages?

Aluminized chain link fence is actually not made of aluminum wire, it is a kind of aluminum powder coated steel chain link fence. The aluminized steel rhombic mesh fence offers an option with less cost in commercial uses compared real aluminum. It also has the aluminum shine surface to enjoy almost all the features of the real Aluminum fences. Knuckle top chain link fences are suitable for general commercial fencing uses. Barbed wire or razor concertina coil top aluminized steel chain link fence makes ideal perimeter fencing with improved security than the knuckle ended.

The base metal for making aluminized chain link mesh  is composed of commercial quality medium-carbon aluminum coated wire. The wire is coated with aluminum to produce a smooth and uniform coating. The weight of aluminum coating, wire sizes with allowable variances, and wire breaking strength, conform to ASTM A 817 for the wire size specified. The wire is aluminum coated before weaving. 

The coating is produced by passing the cleaned wire through a melting bath of aluminum metal.

Aluminum coated steel chain link fence offer the following features: Corrosion resistance, Lightness and nice appearance, Long life time, High tensile and easy installation, Adapt to the harsh environment.Standards:
ASTM A 491 Aluminum-Coated Steel Chain Link Fence.
ASTM F567 Installation of Chain Mesh Fencing.
