Comparison of physical properties of heat treated and untreated hornbeam wood, beech wood, ash wood and oak wood

Heat treatment is an alternative method for improving durability and dimensional stability of wood with no use of chemical additives. When we heat wood chemical changes are starting to take place inside the wood structure. Result of these changes is increased durability and dimensional stability of wood. In this thesis is shown mutual comparison between experimental results of physical properties of heat treated and untreated hornbeam wood, beech wood, ash wood and oak wood. Results of physical properties of heat treated hornbeam wood, beech wood, ash wood and oak wood found that their average value is lower and significantly different from average values of physical properties of untreated wood.
