There is anodized aluminum... Powder coating too.

Though I imagine you're referring to heat or chemical blackening.

I'm curious how doing spring maille works since if the material is that much stronger, wouldn't that make the maille harder to make? Well now that I think about it, they do make t...

Spring as in the material, yes. I haven't seen it for sale, but I imagine it's more expensive... Could make up for it strength and reduction of weight.

Spring steel maille

I've heard some misinformation online, so I figured I'd post here for the real skinny.

Anyone here have spring steel maille?
