Cast steel not standardized

Chemical designation0,23 % C, 2,5 % Si, 1,6 % Mn und 0,6 % Cr
Etching3 % Nital

With 0.23% C, 2.5% Si, 1.6% Mn and 0.6% Cr, the steel is not standardized, presumably an increased amount of silicon was added for castability. The microstructure is bainitic with some surface decarburization.
