👉 Silicization refers to a process in which a material is treated with silicates, such as silica or alumina, to increase its resistance to corrosion. This can be done by adding a layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) or alumina to the surface of a metal, glass, or other substance. Silicification can also occur naturally in certain materials, like quartz and diamond, where it is part of the crystal structure.
