Abstract

Post-heat treatment experiments were carried out for complete dimensional stabilization of thermally compressed wood (Pinus koraiensis). An absorption test was carried out to evaluate the dimensional stability. The specific gravity increased from 0.43 to 0.79 by thermal compression at a compression ratio of 50% thickness. Through the post-heat treatment of compressed wood, the water absorption and thickness swelling decreased with increasing the heat treatment temperature and time. In the case of the thickness recovery rate, when the heat treatment was performed for 24 hours at $120^{\circ}C$, $140^{\circ}C$ and $160^{\circ}C$, the thickness recovery was less than 1%. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the method of dimensional stabilization method of the thermal compression wood can be carried out very effectively through post heat treatment process.

잣나무 열압밀화재의 완전한 치수안정화를 위해 열압밀화 후 열처리를 하였다. 열처리가 된 열압밀화재의 치수안정성 평가를 위해 흡수시험을 실시하였다. 0.43의 비중인 목재를 두께 압축률 50%로 열압밀화를 실시하여 0.79의 비중을 가진 고비중재를 얻었다. 열압밀화 후 열처리를 통하여 열처리 온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 흡수성과 팽윤성이 감소하였다. 두께 회복률의 경우는 $120^{\circ}C$, $140^{\circ}C$, $160^{\circ}C$ 모두 24시간동안 열처리를 진행하였을 때, 1% 미만의 두께 회복도를 나타내었다. 따라서 열압밀화재의 치수안정화는 후 열처리 공정을 통하여 매우 효과적으로 시행할 수 있는 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다.
