Not that I can see, elox is ELectrical OXidisation, which is anodising

It's your call but I can't see anybody searching for "electrical oxidation" if they are looking for anodising. I would just omit the term completely.

You could use anodiSing / anodiZing if you want to attract Americans and other bad spellers :)

Note from asker:
| Thanks Terry, I think you may well be right. However, one of the other key words in French is "anodisation", so I'm wondering if there might be some subtle difference between the techniques referred to by these two terms. |
| Thanks, I think I might put "electrical oxidisation" or probably "electrical oxidation" in fact as that seems to be the preferred term. In my own context there's no point in putting "anodising" as a new term is obviously needed for this list of search words. Thanks again. |

eloxy plating
Only for the intended purpose however, since I'm not convinced it is genuine English!
Gets a good number of ghits though.

anodic oxidation
More than just straightforward "anodising" = "traitement anodique"
Example sentence:
Protection de l'aluminium par oxydation anodique (eloxage)
