Parkerisation

"Parkerizing, bonderizing, phosphating, or phosphatizing is a method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear through the application of an electrochemical phosphate conversion coating."

I know that the practise was common in the US during the war, but would the Germans have used it? The only reference I have seen was one source talking about Panzer armour. Would the Germans have used it on other equipment such as Helmets, gun parts, artillery etc?
