OX Platinum as a frame material

I am in the market for a new steel bike. Looking at the Burley touring bikes they are made from a material they call OX Platinum. Their marketeers make a point to distinguish the type steel tubing that they use calling it lighter weight and noting that this material gets stronger when heated/welded. I know nothing about metals but thought that someone here could help me out by comparing the OX Platinum to 4130 or other CroMo variants.
Thanks for any comments.
