Abrasion Resistance of Thermally Treated Beech Wood [PDF]
International Research Journal of Materials Sciences and Applications, 2020 The study focused on the abrasion resistance of beech wood thermally treated at high temperatures. A standard test for determining abradability, according to ISO 4649, was used. We studied factors such as the anatomical direction, temperature of treatment, and duration of treatment, as well as their effects on abrasion resistance performance.

Analysis of chemical properties of thermally treated Pinus roxburghii Sargent wood
BioResources, 2023 Effects of thermal modification were determined relative to chemical parameters of Pinus roxburghii. Thermal modification of wood was carried out at 80, 120, 160, and 200 °C for 2, 4, and 6 h. The chemical properties were different for different temperatures and different heating time.
