One of my favorite things to do in my degree as a corrosion scientist was making Tafel plots
The amount of information you can gain from just the anodic and Cathodic slopes in incredible. You could learn entire compositions from just these numbers. You get the corrosion rate, the conductivity in a medium, the susceptibility to different types of corrosion (general or localized) and best of all, you can see it happen in real time.
I’ve since become a corrosion engineer and have helped design many types of coatings through the use of Tafel experiments!
