20MnV6
1.5217Vanadium-microalloyed Mn steel — V 0.08-0.15% for grain refinement and precipitation strengthening. Can be used in as-forged (controlled-cooled) condition without separate Q&T. Lower cost than CrMo grades for moderate-strength applications. Used for hydraulic cylinders, shafts, and structural forgings where UTS 700-850 MPa is sufficient.
