anodizes
Electrochemically coats aluminum
Anodizes is the third-person singular of anodize, meaning to coat metal—usually aluminum—with a protective oxide layer through an electrochemical process.
The treatment makes the surface harder, more corrosion-resistant, and able to hold dyes: The shop anodizes aluminum parts in various colors.
Common in manufacturing cookware, electronics housings, and architectural components.
