Stainless Steels of any kind need precise heat treating to bring out their best.
You select a target Rockwell, then soak at a prescribed temperature for a set period of time, then quench to another temperature, then temper, and so on.
It's all time at temperature.
Fortunately, the companies that develop these steels understand them pretty well, and publish time/temperature charts for their products.
