Per my Tool and Manufacturing Engineers Handbook (SME 1976 
third edition) page 1-73 AISI 440A contains, in % by weight  (nominal
composition) :
     C    0.60 - 0.75
     Cr 16.0 - 18.0
      Ni    0
      Mn  1.0 max
      Mo   0.75 max
 
     "Limits on sulfur, phosphorus and silicon can be obtained from other
AISI specifications."
