By Callum What is CK20 Stainless Steel ?
CK20 is a kind of soft austenitic steel alloy has high oxidation resistance. Which is used in sulfite solution and dilute sulfuric acid at room temperature.
This kind of stainless steel has high strength, less quenching and no temper embrittlement. It can be used in parts with low stress and high toughness requirements.
CK20 stainless steel alloy is generally used in mechanical parts and automobile manufacturing to produce parts with high surface requirements and low center requirements.

CK20 Equivalent
310 Stainless steel
310 stainless steel is austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel.
It has good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. The strength of 310 stainless steel is higher due to its high chromium and nickel content. 310 stainless steel can work at high temperature and has good high temperature resistance.
