Alloy 20 Spring Manufacturer
Alloy 20 is one of the so-called "super" stainless steels that was designed for maximum resistance to acid attack. It's nickel, chromium, molybdenum and copper content contribute to its overall resistance to chloride-ion stress corrosion cracking and general pitting attack.
