Which is more expensive, 20# steel or 12Cr1MoVG steel?

20# steel belongs to common carbon structural steel, which is the most common steel in steel materials. It can only be used in structural or fluid environment. It is a steel grade with the first spot stock on the market;

12Cr1MoVG steel belongs to high pressure steel used in high temperature environment.

20# steel is common carbon steel (low carbon steel), and 12Cr1MoVG steel is alloy structural steel. The price of alloy structural steel is much higher than that of ordinary carbon steel. Therefore, the price of 12Cr1MoVG steel is much higher than that of 20# steel.
