Hello,
Quoting some die blocks that were previously made oversees and from c40 plate material. I cross reference from the internet to carbon steel 1038 , 1040. But can't find this either.
Most material suppliers won't help recommend.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
 
Unless there is a callout for it, I'd just go with 4140 prehard an be done with it.

Relatively cheap, and easy to get from McMaster-Carr. If you do it right, it can be at your door on Sunday.

Probably an upgrade from the med carbon stuff originally used anyway.
