20MnV6 offers exceptional low-temperature toughness, high strength, and stable machinability for premium hydraulic honed tubes and chrome plated rods. EAST AI ensures batch consistency with Tier-1 steel, full-process QC, and 100% inspection.
For hydraulic systems operating in low-temperature, heavy-duty, and high-fatigue environments, ordinary carbon steels often face risks of brittle fracture, dimensional instability, seal failure, and shortened service life.
20MnV6 is a high-performance micro-alloyed structural steel widely used in European and global high-end hydraulic systems. With optimized vanadium alloying and strict chemical control, it delivers an ideal balance of low-temperature toughness, high strength, weldability, and dimensional stability.
For mid-to-large stockists, equipment suppliers, and OEM manufacturers, choosing 20MnV6 means:
Stronger performance in low temperatures · Higher loading capacity · More consistent batches · Fewer after-sales failures
Element | Standard Range | Core Function |
C | 0.17–0.24% | Low carbon ensures high toughness & reduces cold cracking |
Mn | 1.30–1.60% | Improves strength, hardenability & grain refinement |
V | 0.07–0.12% | Precipitation strengthening, boosts fatigue life |
Si | 0.17–0.37% | Deoxidation & material purity |
S / P | ≤0.035% | Minimizes impurities & prevents low-temperature brittleness |
Tensile Strength: ≥ 785 MPa
Yield Strength: ≥ 590 MPa
Elongation: ≥ 10%
Impact Energy (–20°C): ≥ 55 J
Excellent performance after induction hardening & chrome plating
Outstanding Low-Temperature Toughness Stable at –20°C to –40°C without brittle failure, far better than CK45 / C45.
