Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of the Inside end-taping (Inside-ET) and Outside end-taping (Outside-ET) treatments on prevention of drying defects during radiofrequency/vacuum (RF/V) drying domestic yellow poplar log cross section with size of 20~75 mm in thickness and 120~470 mm in diameter. The treatments of Inside-ET and Outside-ET were quite effective for producing sound log cross sections with thinner than 33 mm and smaller than 270 mm in diameter. Even the 60 mm- and 75 mm-thick log cross sections, if the diameter was smaller than 30 cm, it might expect preventing formation of border checks by appropriate end-taping treatments. The positions of the observed border checks differed in diameter ranging at a relative radius about 0.50~0.63 diameter, and it was estimated that it was necessary to select the border position of end-taping treatment properly according to the diameter of log cross sections. It was observed that the radius of 0.3 diameter was the critical location for pretreatment for preventing formation of border checks in the log cross section with middle diameter. There were severe border checks and V-shaped cracks in the log cross section with large diameter. This was because of the severe variation of moisture content along radial direction of natural characteristic of domestic yellow poplar.

본 연구에서는 엔드테이핑(End-taping) 처리가 두께가 20~75 mm이고, 직경이 120~470 mm인 백합나무 원반들의 고주파진공건조중 건조결함 예방 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. Inside end-taping (Inside-ET)과 Outside end-taping (Outside-ET)의 경우 두께 33 mm, 직경 270 mm 이하 원반에서 할렬의 예방효과가 우수하게 나타났다. 직경이 30 cm 이하이고, 두께 60 mm와 두께 75 mm의 원반에서도 전처리을 통하여 경계할렬을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다. 경계할렬의 발생위치는 0.50~0.63 diameter 지점으로서 직경에 따라서 상이하였으며, 따라서 횡단면의 부분 엔드테이핑 처리의 경계선도 원반의 직경 따라 적정하게 선정할 필요가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 중경재의 경우 0.3 diameter 지점이 경계할렬 예방을 위한 전처리의 경계점일 가능성이 높을 것으로 해석된다. 대경재의 경우 경계할렬과 V형 크랙에 의한 손상이 매우 심하였으며, 이는 방사방향으로의 함수율 분포변이가 극심한 백합나무 고유의 재질특성에 기인한 것으로 해석된다. 따라서 대경재의 경우 원반으로 활용하는 것은 적절하지 않는 것으로 생각된다.
