The impact of drying and steaming processes on surface color changes of tension ad normal beech wood

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the influence of high temperature to selected properties of beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.). The properties such as moisture content, color changes and longitudinal warping were analyzed. The quality of beech wood is determined based on structure and properties of wood, frequency of defects in wood material. The tension wood is considered as an important wood defect causing negative alterations in solid wood quality and limits industrial application of wood. Finally, it can be concluded that influence of temperature higher than 120°C, is not noticeable factor for quality of beech with content of tension wood. The drying of tension and normal wood has got small noticeable differences. The different values of longitudinal warping which were measured after drying were higher in tension wood than in normal wood. Impact of radial and tangential angle of growth rings is non-significant factor. The proper knowledge of these properties can help to improve the wood quality and increase the efficiency of wooden materials production respectively, and it also may bring considerable financial savings.
