Heat treat 410ss?

[T. Hendrickson]

I've got some 410 ss sheet that I'd like to use for pocket clips. Can I treat it to a spring temper?

thanks

Heat to 1800f and hold for 1 hour for thin sections. quench in moving air for thin sections or oil quench for thicker sections. Temper at 400f for a stiff spring. I have used this method and it works.
