Characteristics of Timbers Dried Using Kiln Drying and Radio Frequency-Vacuum Drying Systems [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 Heavy hardwoods are difficult-to-dry timbers as they are prone to checking and internal stresses when dried using a conventional kiln drying system. These timbers are usually dried naturally to reach 15% to 19% moisture content with an acceptable defects.
