The effects of heat treatment on technological properties in Red-bud maple (Acer trautvetteri Medw.) wood

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

“…The three different durations of heat treatment (3, 5, and 7 h) were determined to be effective in increasing the surface roughness value. Previous studies also reported a loss in the physical properties depending on the duration of the heat treatment and the temperature at which the treatment was applied (Yıldız et al 2006;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). The results of the present study are in accordance with the results available in the literature.…”

“…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.…”

Effects of Thermomechanical Densification and Heat Treatment on Density and Brinell Hardness of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Eastern Beech (Fagus orientalis L.)

“…The decrease in hardness values can be attributed to the loss of mass and density in the wooden materials' components, as a result of thermal decomposition. In the literature, it is reported that the hardness of wooden materials decrease with increases in heat treatment temperature (Yıldız 2002;Korkut et al 2008;Perçin 2012). In another study, it was reported that heat treatment applied after densification has a negative effect on the Brinell hardness values (Fang et al 2012).…”

“…Similar to the radial hardness, the tangential hardness of the samples decreased, and the hardness values gradually decreased with an increase in temperature. According to the results of studies on heat treatment using different temperatures and durations, technological properties of wooden materials are impaired by increasing heat treatment temperatures and durations (Korkut et al 2008).…”

Modeling of Compressive Strength Parallel to Grain of Heat Treated Scotch Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) Wood by Using Artificial Neural Network

“…These effects are achieved especially when heat treatment is carried out for a long time. The strength values of wood most affected by heat treatment are impact and static bending strengths, while the least affected property is the modulus of elasticity (Korkut et al, 2008).…”
