The scope of research includes: examinations of the structure and selected properties of the tuff from Filipowice, including fractographic examination of the Filipowice tuff rocks, X-ray diffraction analysis, and thermal analysis; study of the corrosion resistance of DC01A low-carbon steel in aqueous systems without and with inhibitor, which is volcanic tuff.
