Tensile modulus for a hard-anodized material
Tensile modulus for a hard-anodized material
(OP)
Does hard-anodizing the surface of a 7075-T651 aluminum rod have an effect on the tensile (Young's) modulus of the rod? What kind of effect does compression have on the surface versus the whole rod?
I appreciate any knowledge on the subject. I'm unfamiliar with the process of hard-anodizing and am concerned over assuming which elastic modulus to use in my calculations. I am unable to test for this value experimentally.

The compressive stress on the surface is offset by tension on the core.
I can't see the anodizing have any appreciable impact.
