Preparation of materials
The cost of a bike frame mountain is proportional to its material and the treatment given the material. Currently, there are five types of material used in mountain bikes - high tensile steel, chrome steel, aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber. large diameters, heat treatment, and butting are tubing material treatments that increase the cost of such a framework.
High strength steel
This is a high strength alloy that is at the low price of mountain bikes. Provides a high carbon content which makes it less rigid than steel chrome materials most needed to be stiff enough for bicycle frames, which in turn makes it much heavier.
Relatively cheap produce, you'll find this material in trail bikes, city bikes, and even your level mountain bikes. There are some bikes come with a tube chrome seat, while the rest is high tensile steel.
Chrome steel
Abbreviation alloy steel, chrome described more for their major additives - chromium and molybdenum. This is probably the finest material processing, giving more than 100 years of reliable service.
Depending on the type of heat treatment and the onslaught, you can find this stuff on bikes as low as $ 400 up to 1,500 and beyond. The steel material Chrome offers very good durability and a compliant ride characteristic.
Aluminum
During the past 15 years, aluminum has refined in much the same way that chrome. There have been developed various alloys and heat treatment, oversizing, and splice. With bikes Dual suspension, aluminum is the preferred material because it is the hardest and most profitable.
Aluminum is more rigid than the chrome, and therefore will break before plating. Of course, this depends on how you ride and the amount of abuse to the frame. The advantages of aluminum is that the frame is very light and very rigid through oversizing or butting.
Titanium
Even thought it is something exotic, the prices of these materials have come in recent years. Titanium frames are still expensive because it takes longer to weld the tubes to the structure.
Titanium is considered an alloy, normally mixed with small amounts of vanadium and aluminum to give a better weldability and ride characteristics. More compliant than chrome, which offers better fatigue properties and corrosion.
The material you choose for your bike, it all depends on where you started and the style used. Most materials will be the last time for years, if you take care of your bike and treat the frame with some respect.
