[Ringa]

Hey Ive got an assignment on judging the best materials for a small tricycle company

(Taking into account the properties of the materials such as stiffness, corrosion resistance, strength to weight ratio etc... and importanntly the cost of the material)

The materials that i have to analise and chose from are Reynolds 853, Reynolds X100, Titanium alloy, 7005 Aluminium alloy, Carbon fibre and 4130 chromium molybdenum steel.

I know what I have to do in the assignment, im just struggling to find info on each material. Could someone help, with giving me resources, websites etc.. it would be much apreciated
