Abstract

Cross-cut disks from small diameter oak logs were thermally modified and developed to make accessories such as a brooch. However it is known that domestic oaks are refractory and it is hard to dry their cross-cut disks without any drying defects. The cross-cut disks of Quercus variabilis (7 mm long in the longitudinal direction) were forced to dry in air at two different air velocities in summer and fall season, and their drying yields were investigated. Under the same condition, the average final moisture contents (MCs) of the specimens dried in the fall were lower than those dried in the summer. The average final MCs of the small diameter specimens dried at higher air velocity were slightly lower than those at lower air velocity while those of the large diameter specimen were not influenced by the air velocity. The number of the large diameter specimens with cross checkings was higher than that of the small diameter specimen. This discrepancy between two different diameters was twice in the fall, while it was more than four times in the summer. The large diameter specimens dried at low air velocity in Summer were cross-checked most, which was attributed to repeated water condensation and evaporation due to high humidity and low air velocity.

소경 참나무 횡절목을 열처리하여 브로치 등 악세사리용 소재로 개발하였다. 그러나 국산참나무는 난건조수종으로 특히 횡절 원판을 건조결함없이 건조하기 어렵다. 소경 굴참나무(Quercus variabilis)에서 얻은 원판(섬유방향 길이 7 mm)을 여름과 가을에 강제송풍천연건조하면서 여러 조건에 따른 건조수율을 조사하였다. 같은 조건에서 가을에 건조한 시편의 최종 평균함수율이 여름에 건조한 시편의 평균함수율보다 낮았다. 두 계절 모두 큰 직경의 시편은 풍속에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았으나 작은 직경의 시편은 풍속이 높았을 때 최종 평균함수율이 약간 낮았다. 두 계절 모두 직경이 큰 시편의 할렬 발생빈도가 직경이 작은 시편보다 높았는데 가을에는 2배 정도인데 반해 여름에는 4배가 넘었다. 여름에 낮은 풍속에서 건조한 큰 직경 시편의 할렬 발생빈도가 높은 이유는 여름의 높은 습도와 낮은 풍속으로 반복적인 수분 응축과 증발이 일어났기 때문으로 설명할 수 있다.
