Numeric designation1.4848
Chemical designationGX40CrNiSi25-20
EtchingV2A-Beize @ 70°C und Murakami

Austenitic microstructure with chromium carbides M23C6. The dendritic solidification of the cast steel can only be seen at low magnification in the carbide distribution. The service conditions are unknown, but the spheroidization of the carbides points to temperatures around 800 to 900°C.
