ABSTRACT:
An aluminum alloy chain is formed from welded loops of aluminum rod that constitute the individual links of the chain. During welding, a weld bead is produced by fusing opposed ends of bent aluminum alloy rod stock and pressing the ends together while fused to create a weld bead that extends beyond the perimeter of the rod stock, at least in a direction towards the inside of the link. The aluminum alloy chain can be anodized entirely or at selected intervals to provide a colorful chain or to provide a measurement of the length of the chain. The chain is particularly adapted for use with anchors used in connection with nautical vessels.
