metallization

/ˌmɛtl̩aɪˈzeɪʃən/ noun

The act or process of metallizing

Word Origin Metallization is the process of coating something with metal, and it comes from Greek metallon 'mine.' The suffix -ize turns it into a verb (metallize), and -ation makes it a noun. So it's literally 'the act of making something metal.' The same root gives us metallic, metallurgy, and even nonmetal.
