Here is what I could find,

Titleist MB: 1025 Carbon Steel

Ping i25: 17-4 Stainless Steel

Mizuno: 1025E Carbon Steel

Callaway Apex Pro: 1020 Carbon Steel

Still, even more game improvement irons will have a harder steel casting, then they will forge in a softer face insert. Though it still might sound a bit more harsh than some muscleback irons, a lot of game improvement irons have good feel.

Looks like most forged irons tend to go with 1020/1025 Carbon Steel.

Caste irons probably use more stainless steel. Again the face might not be the same material as the body of the iron.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
