Chrome-Moly
Elgin,

Chrome Moly is a slang term for for an Alloy steel class called "Chromium-Molybdenum Steels" Those steels are the AISI-SAE 41XX class of steels. Bike manufacturers use the term chrome-Moly all the time. 4140 is a common form of a chrome-moly steel and we use it in the industrial robotics world for hardened cam follower ways. 4130 and 4150 are other common Chrome-Moly Steels. So, to answer your question directly: No, chrome-moly is not an aluminum alloy.
