Steel grade 420
2002
Dear sir,
We are a ship repair yard. One of our customers has asked for steel grade 420 (I-IV), we do not know what are differences between different types of grade 420. I mean what these indexes (I-IV)? Could you please help us to understand different in their mechanical and chemical properties and the prices. This is very urgent.
Thank you in advance,

Hello Reza,
To find out more about 420 grade stainless steel you could look at http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=972
I found this site using google with the search string 420 stainless steel. I don't have any pricing info but I'm sure this can be easily found using search machines on the internet.
Hope this helps you a little, best regards,
