Welded wire reinforcement is made from a low carbon steel suitable for welding. Sections of steel wire of varying diameter are crossed perpendicularly with other sections of steel wire, and welded into a grid. These intersections are joined using resistance welding which uses electrical current to melt the wires together, therefore no additional materials are needed to complete the weld. Welded wire reinforcement is specified under ASTM 1064, however the standard does not require that any specific steel alloy or material composition be used.
