Four popular bicycle frame materials are steel, aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber. Beryllium, Metal Matrix Composites and other materials have so far demonstrated limited practicality in bicycle frames. Mysterious and seemingly miraculous beryllium is one-third the weight of aluminum and six times as stiff as steel.his is another reason to look for metal frame parts (such as dropouts) that are made of titanium rather than aluminum if you are shopping for a carbon fiber bike. Discontinuity of materials can create stress-risers where the carbon fiber meets the other material. The stress-risers can lead to failure.
That was probably once a bright and shiny bicycle. However, one of the chemical properties of iron is that is forms rust when exposed to oxygen. This leads to the shiny bicycle turning into a rusty mess and is an example of a chemical change due to chemical properties. The inability of a substance to undergo chemical change is also an example of a chemical property. If you take the shiny new bike from the first example and place it in a room filled with nitrogen and leave it there forever there will be no changes. This is an example of a chemical property of iron as well.
