Re: ano and changing properties?
I'm confused too... according to your results, the ano'd pieced take less weight to deform it. Are those numbers correct?
The ano layer is much stronger than aluminum... about the same as stainless steel in scratch resistance surface hardness.
The caustic etch is not an acid, but rather an alkali, and will remove .001in at normal etch times.
