Does passivation make the surface harder?
(OP)
When passivating stainless steel, in general, does the surface get slightly harder? If so, how deep into the surface does the passivation impregnate?

But since the passivation layer is very very very thin, this is probably not anything that can be practically measured, so from an engineering standpoint, there is no increase in hardness.

Sure it is important but it's like losing weight by getting your hair cut.
