3. General-purpose passivatable metals and alloys
Stainless steels and aluminum alloys are the two main families of general-purpose passivatable alloys. These two families are extremely broad. Not all alloy grades in each family are necessarily general-purpose. Some grades have extremely specific uses, and we won't discuss them here. Instead, we'll give a general overview of each family.
3.1 Stainless steels
Stainless steel is a standardized designation for iron-based alloys containing...

Bibliography
Since the previous edition of this article in 1994, the widespread use of PCs and the Internet has completely changed the way bibliography is used, and consequently the works available. Some of the works cited in the previous edition have been republished and partly updated. On the other hand, others are no longer available on the market, and although they are still of interest, they have been withdrawn from the list....
