There are many mat'ls that will work. I recommend that you talk to your source and pick one that has a RC23 hardness out of the shoot (i.e. without heat treating). The mat'l on the print is what I would do if I wanted to end up with a RC40 or so part. But you can relatively easily machine RC23 parts (or I should say, some machine shops can). Talk to the source about what they can get easily. If the mat'l is RC23 or higher, it should be fine.
