Anodize (Body Jewelry)

Using electric oxidation of metal to color it.

Anodize (Body Modification)

A way of coloring titanium and niobium. Electric current is run through the metal. The metal reacts with the air, forming oxides. The color of the oxide depends on the amount of electric current.

Anodize (Capacitors)

Anodize, formation, or forming process. When immersed in certain electrolyte solutions and connected to a DC power source as an anode with the solution as a cathode, the surface layer of the "valve" metal forms an impervious, amorphous film of oxide having the property of restricting the flow of current in one direction and permitting it to flow in the opposite direction (i.e., a rectifing characteristic).
Common capacitor metals (and dielectrics) are aluminum (Al2O3) and tantalum (Ta2O5). Other valve metals are zinc and magnesium.

Anodize (Import Cars)

A protective oxide coating to a metal surface using the metal as the anode in an electrical cell and allowing an electrolyte to act upon it.
