Does anyone know the modern equivalent to the 1940s specification AN-QQ-S-684 and the conditions in which it may be available?

Many thanks

That is 4130. Most often available in the normalized condition, I have also seen it available annealed.

4130M is a better grade, with more chromium and some nickel added.
