Can you induction harden Stainless?

Question:
Can you induction harden stainless steel - such as a 410 or 440 grade?
Is there any other reasonably low cost material where a good corrosion resistance and hardenability to RC40 to 50?

As for other material, 440C has gotten very expensive as of late, try to stay to lowest grade that hardens to desired range.

I am after the equivalent of a case hardening with some corrosion resistance.

Harden the whole part, but use differing quench rates to get different reuslts.
or harden the whole part and use differing temper temps to get different resutls.
