The Stress Concentration Curve Along Frame Tubes
Bending moments peak sharply at the bottom bracket and head tube junctions, while middle sections experience minimal torsional stress.
Differential Chemical Milling and Cold Drawing
Precision mandrels cold-draw tube centers down to 0.55mm walls, saving 300 grams of frame weight while introducing vertical compliance over road vibrations.
Stress-Relief Heat Treatment in Vacuum Furnaces
Holding completed frames at 480°C in vacuum furnaces relieves residual weld shrinkage stresses, preventing fatigue crack initiation over millions of load cycles.
⚠️ Technical & Safety Verification
