Reynolds 531, the Glossary
Reynolds 531 (pronounced 'five-three-one') is a brand name, registered to Reynolds Technology of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, for a manganese–molybdenum, medium-carbon steel tubing that was used in many quality applications, including race car chassis, aircraft components and, most famously, bicycle frame tubing.[1]

Alloy steel
Alloy steel is steel that is alloyed with a variety of elements in total amounts between 1.0% and 50% by weight to improve its mechanical properties. Reynolds 531 and alloy steel are steels.
See Reynolds 531 and Alloy steel
Bicycle frame
A bicycle frame is the main component of a bicycle, onto which wheels and other components are fitted. Reynolds 531 and bicycle frame are bicycle parts.
See Reynolds 531 and Bicycle frame
Birmingham
Birmingham is a city and metropolitan borough in the metropolitan county of West Midlands in England.
See Reynolds 531 and Birmingham
Brand
A brand is a name, term, design, symbol or any other feature that distinguishes one seller's good or service from those of other sellers.
Carbon
Carbon is a chemical element; it has symbol C and atomic number 6.
Carbon steel
Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content from about 0.05 up to 2.1 percent by weight. Reynolds 531 and carbon steel are steels.
See Reynolds 531 and Carbon steel
Cold working
In metallurgy, cold forming or cold working is any metalworking process in which metal is shaped below its recrystallization temperature, usually at the ambient temperature.
See Reynolds 531 and Cold working
England
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.
Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) and metal active gas (MAG) is a welding process in which an electric arc forms between a consumable MIG wire electrode and the workpiece metal(s), which heats the workpiece metal(s), causing them to fuse (melt and join).
See Reynolds 531 and Gas metal arc welding
Gas tungsten arc welding
Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW, also known as tungsten inert gas welding or TIG, and heliarc welding when helium is used) is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld.
See Reynolds 531 and Gas tungsten arc welding
Heat treating
Heat treating (or heat treatment) is a group of industrial, thermal and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material.
See Reynolds 531 and Heat treating
Jaguar E-Type
The Jaguar E-Type, or the Jaguar XK-E for the North American market, is a British front mid-engined sports car that was manufactured by Jaguar Cars Ltd from 1961 to 1974.
See Reynolds 531 and Jaguar E-Type
Manganese
Manganese is a chemical element; it has symbol Mn and atomic number 25.
See Reynolds 531 and Manganese
Molybdenum
Molybdenum is a chemical element; it has symbol Mo (from Neo-Latin molybdaenum) and atomic number 42.
See Reynolds 531 and Molybdenum
Reynolds Technology
Reynolds Technology is a manufacturer of tubing for bicycle frames and other bicycle components based in Birmingham, England established in 1898.
See Reynolds 531 and Reynolds Technology
SAE steel grades
The SAE steel grades system is a standard alloy numbering system (SAE J1086 – Numbering Metals and Alloys) for steel grades maintained by SAE International. Reynolds 531 and SAE steel grades are steels.
See Reynolds 531 and SAE steel grades
Steel
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron.
Steel grades
Steel grades to classify various steels by their composition and physical properties have been developed by a number of standards organizations. Reynolds 531 and steel grades are steels.
See Reynolds 531 and Steel grades
41xx steel
41xx steel is a family of SAE steel grades, as specified by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Reynolds 531 and 41xx steel are steels.
