Given protective coating

Phosphated describes something that has been treated or combined with phosphate, a compound containing phosphorus.

The term appears mainly in technical contexts: phosphated steel has been coated with a phosphate layer to resist corrosion, while phosphated fertilizers have had phosphate added to boost nutrient content.

The phosphated metal parts showed improved paint adhesion.
