Comparative analysis of drying processes: Moisture content, dimensional stability, and cutting power in beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.)
The effects of different drying modes on moisture distribution and cutting power was investigated for beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.) from northern Poland. Samples (70 mm × 1000 mm) were subjected to air-drying (25 °C) and gas-steam drying (at 90 °C and 105 °C). Moisture content was measured across the cross-section, a...
