Does anyone know what kind this material based on chemical composition,
and refer to what standard or ASTM number?

C 0.19 Si 0.54 Mn 1.03 P 0.011 S 0.003 Cr 1.05 Mo 0.248 Ni 0.884 Cu 0.047
V 0.004

Thanks for your assistance,

Salam,


What's the rest of it? Iron? You have only a few percent of total
composition listed there.


Assuming the remainder is iron, it looks like a chrome-moly steel,
though the carbon is low for the common grades (4140, 4340, etc.).
Perhaps a carburizing chrome-moly steel similar to 8620?
