Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the color change of heat-treated wood made of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis S. et Z.), and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl). The wood samples were heat-treated at 9 different treatment combinations of temperature (170, 180, 200, 220, and $230^{\circ}C$), and time (90, 120, 180, 240, 270 min.) set up by a response surface method. Wood color was measured using a colorimeter, and the samples were installed for evaluating the resistance of termite in the field test sites set up in Jinju. The lightness decreased with the increase of treatment temperature and treatment time. The color differences were evaluated by the method of National Bureau of Standards (NBS), and response surface models to predict the color change were fitted as a function of treatment temperature and treatment time. The $R^2$ values of the fitted models of heat-treated Korean pine and lodgepole pines were 0.92, and 0.88, respectively, showing the potential way for the prediction of color changes. Severe damage was found from the samples in the field test site, which means that the manufactured heat-treated wood did not show the termite resistance enough for the outdoor use.

잣나무(Pinus koraiensis S. et Z.)와 로지폴소나무(Pinus contorta Dougl)를 이용하여 열처리 목재를 제조한 후 처리조건에 따른 재색변화를 조사하였다. 반응표면분석법에 따라 설정된 9가지 처리조건(처리온도 : 170, 180, 200, 220, $230^{\circ}C$, 처리시간: 90, 120, 180, 240, 270 min.)에서 열처리 시편들을 제조하였으며, 색차계를 이용하여 재색을 측정한 후 흰개미 저항성을 평가하기 위하여 진주에 설치된 흰개미 시험장에서 6개월 동안 야외노출시험을 실시하였다. 처리온도와 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 명도가 감소하였으며 감소폭은 시간보다 온도에 의한 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 미국국립표준국(National Bureau of Standards : NBS)에서 제시된 방식에 의해 평가된 색차를 처리온도와 처리시간의 함수로 표현한 반응표면분석모델은 잣나무의 경우 $R^2$의 값이 0.92, 로지폴파인의 경우 0.88로 열처리조건에 따른 색채의 예측가능성을 보여주었다. 6개월의 야외시험결과 열처리 조건에 상관없이 흰개미 가해가 심하게 발생된 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 제조된 열처리 목재의 흰개미 저항성이 야외에 사용하기에 적합하지 않다는 것을 보여준다.
