Often wondered exactly what chrome vanadium means. I see it on all sorts of tools, etc. I imagine the chrome part refers to the finish on the steel but what exactly is vanadium?

Alan is correct . Chrome Vanadium refers to carbon steel that has chromium and vanadium in the alloy . Chromium adds corrosion resistance and other properties . Vanadium adds toughness and wear resistance . I work in a machine shop and we make wear pads from 6150 chrome vanadium steel . Very tough stuff to machine .

The "chrome" part doesn't really have anything to do with whether or not a tool is chrome plated. Chrome and vanadium are metals which, when mixed with carbon steel, is called chrome vanadium steel. Click the link to find an explanation.
