Questions about the product 1kg FRW chain links 8mm for riveting - Ulfberth

How many flat chain links including wedge rivets are contained in the 1 kg package from Ulfberth, and for which historical periods is this type of ring particularly suitable?

A 1 kg package of Ulfberth's FRW chain links contains approximately 2500 to 3000 flat chain links, including the necessary wedge rivets.

These FRW flat rings and wedge rivets allow for the creation of a historically authentic chainmail weave that offers exceptional stability. The advantage of combining flat rings and wedge rivets over conventional round rings lies in the improved surface coverage and significantly higher resistance to punctures and tearing, while simultaneously reducing weight.
What tools are needed to properly process the wedge rivets, and is this set more suitable for the complete manufacture of a chainmail shirt or primarily for repairs and extensions?

For the proper application of wedge rivets, a special rivet gun for wedge rivets (triangular rivets) with an angled head is required. The 1 kg set, containing approximately 1,200 to 1,500 rings, is primarily suitable for repairs, extensions, or smaller projects such as a chainmail coif, while the complete manufacture of a short-sleeved chainmail shirt requires about 15 to 20 kg of material.
What material was used to manufacture these flat rings, and what care is required to prevent rust from forming on the untreated finish?

The chainrings are made of carbon steel. Since the finish is untreated and only lightly oiled, the material is susceptible to rust. To prevent corrosion, regular cleaning and the application of a thin, even film of oil are essential.
