Depends on the rockwell hardness.
I've turned some chromed sockets down before (see "Lead-in on sockets") you shouldnt have a problem with it as long as the cutting tool's M2 or harder (I like Carbide, or Cermet) Cermet comes it handy with hard-turning; I've turned M2-tool steel "punches" (Danley IEM punches, at that) that were 55hrc.
