I am trying to determine the steel alloy used for the major parts of these snowplows. 2

I am trying to reverse engineer an existing snowplow model and improve upon it. These snowplows are made in China. What is the most likely material they could have used to make the major components of these snowplows? It would make sense to make them out of stainless steel. Is there any way to determine this if I don't have access to the drawings? In general what alloy could be used for the blades, and frame elements to optimize the cost and maintain basic product functionality? If my concept design and build goes well, I will consider sourcing these from China myself.

My guess for most of its construction would be A572. And for the blade facing I'd be asking someone in the business that does bulldozer , or grader blade blade refacing.
Most of the time the cutting edge is a hard rubber so as to not damage road surfaces.

FYI, my suggestion is to use SUS304 or higher quality to make this.
