Comparison of different models for the high-temperature heat-treatment of wood

Determination of the Surface Roughness of Heat-Treated Wood Materials Planed by the Cutters of a Horizontal Milling Machine

“…x , arithmetic mean; HG, homogeneity group; *, the greatest roughness value Yıldız et al 2006;Kocaefe et al 2007;Korkut et al 2008;González-Peña et al 2009;Gündüz et al 2009;Korkut and Budakçı 2009;Korkut and Hızıroğlu 2009;Korkut and Budakçı 2010;Budakçı et al 2011). Heat treatment was shown to have a roughness-increasing effect in the present study as a result of giving the wood material a crisp structure, thereby increasing its hardness.…”

Some investigations on moisture injection, moisture diffusivity and thermal conductivity using a three-dimensional computation of wood heat treatment at high temperature

“…When wood is exposed to elevated temperatures, its physical properties can be modified by changing its structural composition and losing mass. In recent years, the thermal treatment of wood at high temperature has attracted considerable attention [1]. Thus, several investigations on hightemperature treatment of wood led to the development of various heat treatment processes in Europe: Thermo-Wood in Finland [2], Bois-Rétifié [3] and Bois-Perdure in France, Plato-Wood in the Netherlands [4,5] and Menz Holz in Germany [6].…”

“…These furnaces used air steam, water vapor, nitrogen or oil as the heating fluid. Recently, an important step forward on experimental and numerical investigations for the high thermal treatment of wood in North America, [1,[7][8][9] was also reported.…”

Effect of TiO2-containing nano-coatings on the color protection of heat-treated jack pine

“…2,11,12 Heat treatment of wood is a viable and environment-friendly wood preservation method, and it is one of the alternatives to chemical treatment which is harmful to the environment as well as to human health. 13 The heat treatment improves the dimensional stability and the biological resistance of wood. It has a dark color which is important for decorative purposes.…”
