A procedure is described for the uniform removal of very thin sections of metal surfaces by electrolysis. Equipment requirements and the various parameters affecting operation are considered, and the results of applying the technique to studies of solid-state diffusion are discussed. The technique appears to offer considerable promise for evaluating chemical changes at metal surfaces which have taken place as a result of corrosion or diffusion processes. (auth
