Contaminated, as in the steel itself as a result of its manufacture.

If the steel is fine, and there's a very good chance it will be, you won't need corrosion protection. If it isn't, then you basically need to treat it about the same as you would treat bare aluminium in a copper loop, which would mean at least a 25% concentration mix of anti-freeze/corrosion inhibitor.
