Reynolds 853 and X100 (1 Viewer)

[strida]

does anyone have any information including the:

• strengths
• fatigue resistance
• resistance to bending
• ease in which they can be joined

of each of these materials iam soo stuck cant find anythin on the net about em

the problem is the metal is proprietary, so it tends to be abit harder to find information readily about the metal tubing products. Anyways....

x100
this is new form of aluminium

853
its basically airhardened steel

Alumimium x-100
UTS : 550-600 MPa, density 2.65 gm/cc

Derived from aerospace projects, and used for custom build bike projects.When added to aluminium, lithium can increase the strength and stiffness while reducing density. High tensile strength with good fatigue resistance make this alloy suitable for super-light frames after full frame heat-treatment.

This alloy was derived from work on the Space Shuttle propellant tanks but is now has limited production availability.

Steel 853

AMLESS AIR-HARDENING HEAT-TREATED STEEL

UTS: 1250-1400 MPa, density 7.78 gm/cc

The benefits of an air-hardening steel are particularly noticeable in the weld area where, unlike conventional steel alloys, strength can actually increase after cooling in air immediately after welding. This feature is a result of the fine grain structure due to the chemical compostion specified. 853 is heat-treated to give high strength and damage resistance.


hope that helps ..based on the bit of info provide it should make it abit more easier for you to expand on each materials properties..

Cheers boys

 

[makeHSChistory]

oh yeh i actually have no information for you.
good luck

 

[hello-there]

i also need some info concerning this topic
thanx for the info Monnie

lol this is the copeland engineering report.
anyone actually finished it yet?
post here

My report is uploaded on the website

Note: some of the stuff in it is bullshit, be carefull if you have a really cluey teacher

lols one of the students in my school is handing in your direct report :mad1:
Pretty bs though, he said he cbf changing it...plagiarism to the max for hsc GG. I've used your report for a lot of referncing though, added you in the acknowledgement section too :uhhuh:

Note: No it is not me.

Really what a dick. Dont worry too much though about his mark, even if he beets you in this i guarentee he will do bad in the exams. Thanks for the rep haha. I would post my crane hook one up, which is form the lifting devices mod, but the site wont let me. So give me your email and i will send it to you =)

I think its the best of my three reports
