How are commercial chain links welded? My first guess is
using resistance but I would guess the electricity would
be more likely to take the path around the link than
across the touching faces.



Yes it's resistance welded. They did a segment on (I think)
"How it's made"
on chain. Interesting sequence of events!


I couldn't find that so I kept looking until this popped up:
