rustproofed
Treated against oxidation
Rustproofed describes something that has been treated to resist rust, the corrosion that forms when iron or steel is exposed to moisture.
Cars, tools, and outdoor furniture are commonly rustproofed with coatings, sealants, or galvanization: The undercarriage was rustproofed before winter.
