In several places actually. Fasteners - screws, nuts and bolts - are usually steel. Wheel axles, freewheel mechanisms, brake parts tend to be steel. Aluminium forks may have steel steerers. Bearings tends to use steel.

Which is stronger Aluminium or steel?
if i had to take a guess i would say steel.
If you were an engineer constructing a multi storey building which alloy would you be extensively using and why?
According to me I would use the steel as an alloy because as it is very strong and hardest alloy . And mainly for constructing the huge building or malls we need the hard materials or alloy . So , I will prefer the steel as an alloy
What is a combination of to metals?
I Would Say A Combination Of Metals Is Called An Alloy .
Is stainless steel an alloy?
Yes! All steel is an alloy since there is no base atom "steel". An example of a non alloy would be gold, silver, aluminum, etc. If the metal is not on the periodic chart of the elements, it is an alloy. Stainless steel is in fact defined as a steel alloy--steel itself being mostly iron (an element) with added carbon--alloyed with at least ten percent chromium by mass.
What would be the best metal for a magnet steel aluminum lead or tin?
steel, as it is an alloy of iron
What metals are on a brake handle on a bicycle?
Most adult sized bicycles these days have aluminium alloy handlebars, or even carbon fiber. Aluminium bars may be anodized, but will usually not be anodized. BMXes, Dutch bikes Townies and cruisers may have steel bars which usually are chromed.If it's high quality, they would have had a copper layer first, to help the chrome stick to the bar.
Why is aluminum alloy used for a mountain bike?
If done properly it lets you build a lighter and/or stronger bike than steel would. And it's cheaper than carbon fibre or titanium.
Would a steel or iron chain be tougher to break?
Steel, which has a higher tensile strenght than pure iron, would be toughest to break. Steel is an iron alloy.
How many electrons does steel have?
there are many types of steel, they would have differant answers for each depending on the types of metal in each
Why was alloys of aluminium are used to make aircraft bodies instead of pure aluminium?
Pure aluminum isn't used for ANYTHING--even a cola can is made from aluminum alloy. Aerostructures are made from various aluminum alloys chosen for their strength, workability or other desirable characteristics.
Why isn't steel alone used for over head cables?
The overall weight of the cable would become a problem. Steel conductivity ratings would be lower that that of aluminium.
Why would cars made from aluminum use less fuel than cars made from steel?
Cars made from aluminium use less fuel than cars made from steel because aluminium has a low density this makes the car to be lightweight. Whereas with steel, it has a high density so it makes the car to be very heavy. So if steel was used over the same journey more fuel would have to be used and therefore less fuel would be used if you used the metal aluminium.
