Özet

Heat treatment is often applied to improve the dimensional stability of woods. In this study, the effect of heat treatment on some mechanical properties of Uludag fir wood (Abies bornmuellerinana Mattf,) having industrially high usage potential and large plantations in Turkey was evaluated. Samples collected from Bolu Forest Enterprises, Turkey were subjected to heat treatment for varying temperatures and durations. Then, the treated and control samples were tested for some mechanical properties; compression strength, bending strength, modulus of elasticity in bending, janka-hardness, impact bending strength and tension strength perpendicular to grain. The results indicated that treated samples had lower mechanical properties compared to the control samples. In addition, increase in temperature and durations decreased the mechanical properties.
