One studies some tight-binding models of metallic compounds with two bands partly filled with electrons. The basic scheme is a Hubbard model of electrons in an external potential which involves the third component of the spin, and two variants are considered: the Ising-Hubbard model and the Hund-Hubbard model. It is shown that, for sufficiently large on-site exchange anisotropy, all ground states show metallic ferromagnetism.
