anodise
Coat metal electrically
To anodise is to coat a metal, usually aluminium, with a protective oxide layer through an electrochemical process.
The coating resists corrosion and can take dyes, producing the coloured finishes common on bike parts, cookware, and electronics: anodised aluminium panels.
British spelling of anodize.
