We wish to produce a martensitic stainless steel containing 17% Cr. Recommend a carbon content and austenitizing

Question:

We wish to produce a martensitic stainless steel containing 17% Cr. Recommend a carbon content and austenitizing temperature that would permit us to obtain 100% marten site during the quench. What microstructure would be produced if the marten site were then tempered until the equilibrium phases formed?
