Abstract
The dependence of interelectrode impedance on the type of metal, the area of the electrode, the method of finishing of its working surface, and the frequency of the current was studied. A series of 15 materials was obtained in order of impedance properties and definite correlation was established with the order of preparations of heavy metals based on the density of albuminates formed by them. The electrode difference between impedances of extreme members of the series was shown to be very substantial in the region of low frequencies but to become very small at frequencies higher than 10–50 kHz.
