We have a customer purchasing investment cast valve for recip pump valves in 8620, case hardened to 55-60Rc and wants to consider Chinese 20CrMnTi instead, to the same specs. Does anyone have experience with this material. How does it compare? Recommendations?

I received an investment casting, suppose to be 8620 steel, case hardened to 60Rc.
The chemical analysis showed the material to be as follows:
C = .40
Si = .3
Mn = .65
P = .014
S = .010
Cr - .86
Mo - <.01
Ni - .04
Fe = Remainder
Can someone tell me what this material might be?
