Company Profile<br />
Toyo Frame Co., Ltd. has 30 years of <strong>in</strong>dustry-lead<strong>in</strong>g expertise <strong>in</strong><br />
pipe weld<strong>in</strong>g/cutt<strong>in</strong>g/process<strong>in</strong>g and special th<strong>in</strong>-pipe process<strong>in</strong>g<br />
employ<strong>in</strong>g titanium, <strong>magnesium</strong>, alum<strong>in</strong>um and sta<strong>in</strong>less <strong>steel</strong><br />
materials.<br />
Now we take full advantage of this experience <strong>in</strong> our design,<br />
manufacture and supply of special frame products, for everyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />

bicycles.<br />
<strong>AZ31</strong> <strong>magnesium</strong> <strong>tube</strong> (<strong>made</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Japan</strong>)<br />
Our advanced <strong>AZ31</strong> <strong>magnesium</strong> alloy is specially <strong>made</strong> accord<strong>in</strong>g to a process <strong>in</strong> which<br />
<strong>magnesium</strong> (which is approx. 30% lighter than alum<strong>in</strong>um) is added to alum<strong>in</strong>um.<br />
This is <strong>made</strong> <strong>in</strong>to the world's lead<strong>in</strong>g-edge tub<strong>in</strong>g for the bicycle <strong>in</strong>dustry hav<strong>in</strong>g 30%<br />
greater tensile strength and hardness and 12% greater flexibility compared to the<br />
orig<strong>in</strong>al <strong>AZ31</strong> <strong>magnesium</strong> alloy formulation.<br />

<strong>Niobium</strong> <strong>steel</strong> <strong>tube</strong> (<strong>HT</strong>) (<strong>made</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Japan</strong>)<br />
The hardness of the tub<strong>in</strong>g is enhanced by the addition of niobium to the <strong>steel</strong> (which<br />
is an alloy of iron and carbon). Tensile strength, hardness and flexibility are further<br />
improved us<strong>in</strong>g a special heat treatment. The result is a th<strong>in</strong>ner butted <strong>tube</strong>. S<strong>in</strong>ce the<br />
base material is not <strong>in</strong>fluenced by weld<strong>in</strong>g, it is superior to conventional chromiummolybdenum<br />
tub<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
