Well, Devin's website says that his stainless damascus steel is made from AEB - L and 304.

AEB-L is a steel from Udeholm in Sweden and contains C 0,7; Si 0,3; Mn 0,6; Cr 13,5; Mo 0,3.

304 is 18 Cr / 10 Ni and hence a non hardening austenitic stainless steel.

I would not try to plate and/ or air quench this material if i am looking for really good results. Also, for good results, you should perform a cryo quench in liquid nitrogen.
