AegiMesh:How to identify the quality of chainmail welding through tensile testing

Overview：

Many customers focus on visible parameters such as wire diameter, material, and weight when selecting chainmail gloves. However, the key factor that truly determines safety is often hidden in a place that cannot be judged by the naked eye—the quality of the weld. The strength of a welded ring cannot be evaluated by appearance; it must be tested using professional tensile equipment. As a result, many people overlook the most critical—and potentially fatal—indicator: Welded Ring Strength.

Among all the factors that influence protective performance, this is the one that determines whether a glove is genuinely safe.

Stronger welds → less likely to break → longer service life. 

This is the biggest difference many customers experience in real use.

Regarding product quality, last week we purchased gloves from two Chinese competitor on the market and conducted basic analysis and tensile testing yesterday. Please refer to the test video. The results are as follows:

Explanation

Based on the test results：

The welded ring strength of  price-driven Chinese Competitor-1 is only 77.48% of AegiMesh(289/373 = 77.48%).

The welded ring strength of price-driven Chinese Competitor-2 is only 60.06% of AegiMesh(224/373 = 60.06%).
