410, 416, 303, 304 sheets and rods?

Now I have a kiln on the way, I'm thinking ahead. I've always used titanium as my lock springs material, because you don't have to heat treat it.

I see suppliers have SS sheets and rods, can I heat treat these(see above)?
What temps/hold and temper?

Heres a little info on the USA knife makers web site.. I just found this today and copied it myself for future reference http://www.usaknifemaker.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=57_81&products_id=1390

Should answer your questions.

If the info your looking for is not there, Look at Admiral steels web page there data sheets probably have what your looking for. Good luck

Its a KNIFE LIFE!

I didn't find anything on these steels.

None of those steels heat treat well.

I just want them for STOPS and LINERS.

Sorry - I knew that but wasn't thinking. I have no experience HT these steels, but you can find datasheets here.
