Decay Resistance of Carbonized Wood Surfaces

Abstract

In this study, decay resistance of carbonized wood surfaces by combustion method was examined. In this context either single or five geometrical surfaces of Scots pine and beech wood specimens were carbonized and exposed to Coniophora puteana (brown rot) and Pleurotus ostreatus (white rot) decay fungi for 12 weeks. According to the results single or five surface carbonized Scots pine specimen showed reduced weight loses when compared to un-carbonized controls. Beech wood specimens, on the other hand, resulted significantly low weight losses only for five surface carbonized specimens. A statically significant difference was found between the control samples of both wood species. Since surface carbonization did not introduce any differences among the treatment types of white rot fungi for both wood species, this method could be useful against brown rot fungi (C. puteana) risk.
