Default Hardening drill rod - how to avoid dimensional changes?

This effect/fact (Carbon in steel) shows, that steels having very litte
C-content should be better. They will have Cr, Mo, Mb etc. There is a
C-equivalent that says that you can replace C with other elements
(metals). If you want, I can dig for that formula.
