Some general concepts in the study of the electrochemical behavior of metals are introduced.

The experimental arrangements for the determination of polarization diagrams are discussed on the basis of the results obtained working on model cells.

An entirely new type of arrangement is described.

Some typical experimental results are given and some general rules are deduced concerning the electrochemical behavior of metals.

A brief mention is given of the possible relations between this behavior and structural properties of metals and solutions and the passivity problem.
