Passivation of 10/10 or 10/18 steel

Q. Can you passivate 10/10 or 10/18 steel?

A. Quite honestly I don't have an answer. As you probably know most steels can be passivated, but some alloys are more difficult to passivate than others. I suggest that you call Henkel Surface Technologies, or visit their website for an answer.
