FOCO
Progetto Foco: High quality top of the range road, mtb, triathlon frames
Material
Thermacrom: It is the latest result of recent studies on the new welding methods and on the behaviour of the structure under successive heat cycles.
Thermacrom can be considered to be a development of the Nivacrom alloy and the ultra-fine structures resulting from the secondary precipitation of stable
carbides. Thermacrom is a steel microalloyed with manganese, chrome, molybdenum and vanadium. These elements produce a marked increase in
temperability, a reduction in sensitivity to overheating which ensures that a fine-grain metal structure will be obtained after welding, more able to
withstand fatigue stresses, better characteristics of strength and tenacity and better characteristics of resistance to corrosion and wear. Thermacrom is
born for very top-of-the-range frames that require the highest benefits. Mechanical Characteristics: Breaking load Rm = 1250 ÷ 1450 N/mm˛ Rs = 1100 N/mm˛ Elongation > 10%
Foco: Technical Characteristics
- Extreme lightness, thanks to reduced thickness (0,4 mm)
- Excellent mechanical properties, due to cold-drawing process which consolidates the steel structure
Reasons to choose Foco
- Athlete: Foco has been conceived for the competition only. Foco tubes guarantee extreme lightness and rigidity thanks to the mechanical stability of
Thermacrom steel. It is possible to choose between standard or new (drop-shaped) Megatubes.
- Framebuilder: Foco is reserved to top of the range, professional frames. Foco tubes are reliable and light: their weight is similar to aluminium while
offering aluminium same corrosion resistance, if properly treated, but with simpler assembling phases. A guarantee of safety for both the athlete and the Framebuilder
