Well I tried the ATP-641 on a scrap piece of S30V steel and put it in the kiln with two S30V blades that were wrapped in stainless foil. soak time was 25 minutes at 1950 degrees. the coating stayed on the steel. Upon cleaning ot up on the bader grinder, I noticed several small carbon pits in the blade. they were very small and only about 3 thousands deep and clean up very easy. I may try it again and apply one coat let it dry and then apply a second coat and see if that takes care of the minor pits.
The scrap piece of S30V tested for the same hardness as the two blades that were in the ss foil packet.
