What is the chemical equation for chromoly steel?

Steel hasn't a chemical equation.


How can you tell if it is chromoly?

That's not a test for any particular alloy at all, only a rough guide to two metals' relative hardnesses. Mild-steel cannot be hardened through, only case-hardened to give a thin, wear-resistant surface layer. Heat-treatable steels can be hardened through but hardness alone merely tells you it has been hardened, and may simply be high-carbon steel (Iron plus a small amount of carbon). If you know the metal in a particular machine can only be either untreated mild-steel or Chromoloy, then hardness will differentiate them; but if you don't know what alloys have been used, it tells you only which components have been hardened, and could be any of two or more such alloys in the machine. As for using a file as a hardness-tester.... Not with any file belonging to me or anyone else who respects their tools, you don't!


Is aluminium as strong as steel?

It depends on multiple factors, There are multiple grades/alloys of both that have different characteristics ( flexibility, temperature ranges, chemical resistance that affect it's strength). If you are going by volume, comparing pieces of the same width/length/thickness, than steel is always stronger. If your comparing by weight, comparing 2 pieces that weight the same, than aluminum is almost always stronger with the exception of chromoly steel. 41xx grade chromoly steel is the only steel that is stronger/weight than aluminum alloys(debatable), but most agree that the aluminum of similar weight will be stiffer. Aluminum alloys usually show a 1/3 weight saving with equal strength vs. non Chromoly steels, like that used in production cars. All commercial planes are made of aluminum alloy.


What are light switches made from?

Modern light switches are made from plastic, copper, and (maybe) coiled steel springs.

no it isn't because of the is it does spell the same thing backwards.

Can you chrome chromoly?

People do it all the time, but you have to bake the metal to release the hydrogen after you do it. Otherwise the steel gets brittle.


How can I tell what type of BMX bike frames I have?

Generally speaking aluminum frames have larger diameter tubes than steel or titanium bikes, but the most obvious is to test with a magnet. If it sticks it's a steel frame. If it doesn't it's probably aluminum. Titanium frames are still so rare that you are very unlikely to buy one w/o knowing.


What is the function of Chromoly?

Chromoly (often spelled cromoly) is an abbreviation for "chromium-molybdenum steel". Chromoly is an alloy used to produce tubing for bicycle frames and race-car roll cages. It is not as lightweight as some steel alloys, but has the advantages of high tensile strength and malleability. It is also easily welded and is considerably stronger and more durable than standard (1020) steel tubing. It is also known as 4130 steel, and is composed of 0.28 to 0.33% carbon, 0.4 to 0.6% manganese, 0.8 to 1.1% chromium, 0.15 to 0.25% molybdenum, 0.04% phosphorus, 0.04% sulfur, and 0.2 to 0.35% silicon, in addition to iron.

Why chromoly tubing is used in bicycle frames?

This is because height tensile steel is strong in nature means it is very hard to break & even cycle remain's for a very long period of time as it is manufactured. lets talk its pros & cons. Pros:- 1. It is very hard to break tensile steel. 2. Cycle remains for a long time as chances for breaking that are less. 3. This kind of steel is not easy to break. 4. Life of a cycle increase as we use this. Cons:- 1. Cycle become very heavy. 2. This kind of cycles can't easily handle by the child. 3. Its color may fake some time that effects outer appearance of cycle.

Are sapient bikes any good?

No, they are made out of hi-ten steel which is both weaker and heavier than chromoly. On top of that, the brand is one that is very unknown.
