Properties and selection of stainless steel alloys for machining are discussed at
Information on 420F is summarized on the final page. Re 420F vs. 300 series. 420F is much better in machinability, cheaper (no Ni & lower Cr), but much poorer w.r.t. corrosion. 420F is probably worse in corrosion resistance than about all other SS except for 420FSe, 440C & 440CF.
For SI units, see the table "Mechanical Properties of Wrought Stainless Steels" at
For more info, Google on 420F stainless steel properties.
