2. Steel

Metal mixture is composed of iron and carbon, can also be mixed well as other metals. Though steel had previously been produced by blacksmiths for thousands of year, but when it's use is still not up, Casting Process Because of her difficult and requires greater costs than iron.

 
Their use is becoming increasingly more and phenomenal, when more efficient methods of production that are found in the 17th century. With the discovery of Bessemer process in the mid-19th century, steel became the material of mass production which makes production becomes cheaper price.

The beginning of the 20th century was the beginning of the use of Steel Moment Frames for Motorcycles materials and other Part. Steel has many advantages than Iron. Some of them are more easily formed when the steel casting process, can be mixed with various concentrations of Materials Materials with larger mix, Lighter, Stronger, And can be much cheaper than the Iron.

One of the first motor that uses Alloy Steel Technology is the Hilderbrand-Wolfmüller, which until now was known as the first Mass Production Motorcycle in the World

 In the mid-modern era, use of steel began to evolve toward a much more advanced. Manufacturers are competing to make Construction Chassis (frame, swingarm, legs) are Rigid, Exotic, and able to sustain the performance of a machine that has a much greater power.

Some of which we've discussed in the article Historical Bike EA's Blog is Twinspar-Steel Frame (Yamaha RZV500R, which Racy & Exotic yet Cost-Effective Production, Steel Trellis Frame (Suzuki Bandit, Ducati 916, etc.), Or Twin-Tube / Diamond Steel Frame (Honda Hornet, Kawasaki Balius, etc.) are classic and certainly much more efficient

Various alloys of steel, a mixture of more advanced (In a technological sense) began to be used. Her simple example is the combination / mixture between Steel (Steel) with Chromium (Chromium), which produces Stainless-Steel (Stainless Steel). Others there are a mixture of steel plus Nickel (Nickel) & Zinc (Manganese) which produces steel with High Strength and Durability, And there is a plus Vanadium Steel to reduce stress and increase the violence in Alloy Steel (Steel mixture) is. . .

The use of steel as a material constituent Motor Feel also we can still to this day. . . A simple example is Spoke wheels, and other Motorcycle Part that uses Stainless Steel (Stainless Iron)

 Today, steel is one of the most common materials in the world, with a production of more than 1.3 billion tonnes per year (Source: Wikipedia)
