A graph showing the strength and stiffness of the four different alloys, (www.genesisbikes.co.uk, 2012)
Reynolds 853
Reynolds is a combination of different elements with the alloy name steel (made up mostly of iron & carbon); the other elements present in this form of the alloy are manganese, chromium, molybdenum, silicon, and copper.
Steel is possibly the strongest and most widely used alloy throughout the world (as graph on Pg 2 depicts), and its properties can be dramatically varied with slight changes to its chemical makeup. A significant factor that is used to increase the strength of ‘Reynolds 853’ is the process with which it is created.
There are many different ways that these steels are processed primarily for the fabrication of bike frames, in the case of 853, the method used is air hardening, and this is simply when the metal is left to harden. After the cooling period, the steel will then go through a series of heat treatment methods to further increase the ‘Reynolds 853’ strength. The steel can now withstand large loads. The properties of
