The effects of hard anodizing on the stress corrosion cracking of aluminium alloys / by D.R. Lenard and D.L. Starratt.DR52-11/19-1994E-PDF

"The breaking load method was used to determine the effect of alternate immersion in sea water on uncoated, sulphuric acid anodized and hard anodized specimens of AA 7075-T651 in order to evaluate the benefits of anodizing the aluminum pressure hull of an autonomous underwater vehicle to reduce the risk of stress corrosion cracking. The original test method showed that anodizing delayed the onset of stress corrosion cracking of specimens subjected to an externaly-applied stress of 69 Mpa, with hard anodizing providing a greater benefit than sulphuric acide anodizing. Anodizing was also shown to delay the onset of intergranular cracking in the absence of an external stress"--Abstract.
