'I didn't believe him. Steel is what we would call a mature technology. We'd like to think we know most everything about it. If someone invented a way to strengthen the strongest steels even a few percent, that would be a big deal. But seven percent? That's huge.' </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24319 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 23:21:49 +0000 nearefare 24319@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I know someone here would :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24242 Thu, 17 Feb 2011 01:07:36 +0000 Smudge 24242@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Stepdoh, google is my friend ;-)<br /> <a href="http://www.yehudamoon.com/index.php?date=2009-07-28" rel="nofollow">http://www.yehudamoon.com/index.php?date=2009-07-28</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24240 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 23:18:38 +0000 Arellcat 24240@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Arborium! :-D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24237 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 22:44:05 +0000 Stepdoh 24237@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now how many people would get that reference. :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24235 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 22:31:22 +0000 nearefare 24235@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>&lt;GASP&gt; ARBORIUM </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24215 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 15:02:14 +0000 Arellcat 24215@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can't say I ever came across a binary phase diagram for Unobtanium alloys, but my copy of Callister's 'Materials Science &amp; Engineering' <em>is</em> a few editions old now.</p> <p>:-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24213 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:43:43 +0000 kaputnik 24213@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Unobtanium, huh? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24211 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:31:43 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 24211@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<em>The tubing is an air-hardenable, martensitic stainless steel with a tensile strength in excess of 200 ksi (1400 Mpa).</em>"</p> <p>It also contains pentapeptides and pro-retinol A... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24207 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:13:38 +0000 chdot 24207@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Presumably 853 needs painting?</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_Cycle_Technology" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_Cycle_Technology</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24206 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:06:42 +0000 Arellcat 24206@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"The tubing is an air-hardenable, martensitic stainless steel with a tensile strength in excess of 200 ksi (1400 Mpa)."</em></p> <p>Wow. That's in the territory of Reynolds 853, which is a similar air-hardening steel. The tensile strength of 953 is in the 1900-2000 MPa range but needs careful heat treatment. Compare with 531, which is 'only' in the 700-900 MPa range. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2290#post-24204 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:35:31 +0000 chdot 24204@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'Tougher than ti, lighter than alu' stainless steel tubing to launch at NAHBS.
