From titanium + -ize.

Meanings

1. To coat with a layer of titanium, often in the form of titanium oxide.
   • It “titanizes” copper to form silvery, wear-resistant coatings and despite its exceptional stability in massive form, it can be used as a powerful reducing agent; in short, it displays a versatility almost inconceivable in one material. 1963, Alfred R. Globus, Titanium Metal Powder, page 17:
   • It was found that the carbon microcoils derived from microwave method are easier to titanize than those derived from conventional method . 2002, Jining Xie, Chiauling Ong, Vijay K. Varadan, “Carbon and ceramic microcoils for MEMS by microwave CVD”, in Smart Structures and Materials July 2002 - SPIE's 9th Annual International Symposium on Smart Structures and Materials:
   • Nevertheless, it is possible to titanize all these metals using the same technique as that used to obtain Ti deposits on Fe. 1957, Journal of the Electrochemical Society - Volume 104, page 19:
   • The results show that it is practicable to titanize by neutral salt bath in the electrode salt bath furnace without crucible. 1996, Zhang Laiqi, Li Musen, Sun Xitai, “Study on Titanizing in Neutral Salt Bath”, in Heat Treatment of Metals, volume 8:
   • On the basis of these considerations, it may be postulated that, in addition to aluminizing and siliconizing, it is possible in principle to boronize, berylize, titanize, and vanadize metals by the circulation technique, since B, Be, Ti, and V halides of various valences are known to exist and their curves of thermodynamic formation potential plotted as a function of temperature intersect at temperatures which are suitable for coating production. 1970, Protective Coatings on Metals, page 51:
