Verb
Context #1 | Verb

metal treatment

Anodize refers to the process of coating a metal, typically aluminum, with a layer of oxide to enhance its durability and resistance to corrosion. This electrochemical process helps to create a thick, protective layer that can also be dyed to achieve various colors.

Synonyms

coat, cover, electroplate

Examples of usage

  • The manufacturer decided to anodize the aluminum parts for better corrosion resistance.
  • After anodizing, the metal showed increased wear resistance.
  • They chose to anodize the surface to give it a colorful finish.

Etymology

The term 'anodize' is derived from the word 'anode', which refers to the positively charged electrode in an electrochemical cell. The process of anodizing was developed in the early 20th century, with significant advancements occurring during World War II, when it was utilized to improve the durability of military equipment. The anodizing process involves passing an electric current through an acidic solution and the metal being treated, leading to the formation of a protective aluminum oxide layer on the surface of the metal. This innovation greatly enhanced the performance and life expectancy of aluminum products and has since become a standard industrial practice.
