Brettoll Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 After having a Marino many moons ago and seeing his work.. I had a sneaky peak at his website to see what is what. Having literally no understanding of the different materials he uses, I wanted to ask the TF collective a bit about them and their pro's and con's over one another (excluding the $130 price difference).

FamilyBiker Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) 4130 is 25crmo4,relatively high-alloy steel in comparison to carbon steel,which is basically low alloy steel we cant define exactly. adding other elements to the metal gives more tensile and yield strength,better weldability and 1000s of other properties. for your frame that means its less likely to get bent,cracked and stuff. and the same construction can be lighter,if you need just .6mm wall thickness of the main triangle instead of .9 it can make a difference of 200g to a frame Edited July 21, 2015 by FamilyBiker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Can't say I know what materials Marino use but I can say if it's Reynolds, 440c or other managing steels (c350 ect) then it's stronger than 4130 chromo. 4130 is stronger than a higher carbon steel. And braze vs tig joints is an evens argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
