Which increased risk occurs when introducing interstitial defects within a crystal lattice?

💡 Explanation

Substituting foreign atoms causes lattice strain increasing the material's susceptibility to corrosion via Galvanic corrosion because defects offer lower energy pathways for oxidation; therefore, corrosion is accelerated, rather than oxidation resistance, because stability lowers requirements.
