I had the Mig welder down to the lowest heat and speed settings to get them welded up. If I lingered the wire heated up too much and would evaporate.

The HUW uses the same chain for a bunch of locking pins and screw keepers. The chain is brazed on rather than welded which would have been easier than welding for the heat reason you say.
