Problem
Stainless steel can be modeled as iron (126 pm) containing chromium (128 pm) and carbon (70 pm).
Classify the roles of chromium and carbon in the iron lattice and state how the simultaneous presence of both solute atoms would be expected to affect the hardness of the alloy compared with pure iron.
