Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing tonewood and its use for the production of musical instruments, in particular of necks, covers, frames and floors of guitars and bass guitars.
- tonewood also sound wood
- Mainly wood is used, which has grown slowly and thus has tight annual rings.
- the wood used must be grown as straight as possible and have few branches.
- the speed of sound of the wood used should be as high as possible.
- the wood used to make tonewood is stored and air-dried over a period of several years or decades to ensure that as much of the wood's stresses as possible have been removed.
- native woods of spruce, Douglas fir, pine or red cedar are used for the production of the sound box and the covers of stringed and plucked instruments.
- exotic wood species such as wenge, mahogany, rosewood, bubinga, West Indian shrimp or Canadian maple are used to produce tonewood because of their high strength, stiffness and dimensional stability compared to native wood species such as spruce or maple.
- thermowood is also used in the literature for wood treated in this way.
- Thermowood is used at temperatures above thermally treated by 160 ° C, because the wood is to achieve a high biological durability. It is mainly made for outdoor or wet indoor use (eg sauna, bathroom).
- the wood must have a high resistance to wood-destroying fungi and insects. These properties are only achieved when wood is treated above 180 to 220 ° C.
- the wood embrittles as a result of degradation processes on the cell wall components.
- thermal shrinkage stresses cause cracks between the cells and in the cell wall.
- the strength values sink in the known thermal treatment methods.
- the DE 32 29 826 A1 relates to a treatment method for freshly felled natural wood for quality improvement, in which the natural wood is watered and then dried. Drying is carried out under normal conditions for a period of at least one week, in particular four weeks.
- the treated natural wood is used for making tonewoods, doors or window frames.
- the US 2003/0084962 A1 describes a process for producing modified wood in which the wood is subjected to high-pressure steam treatment at temperatures of 120 to 200 ° C for 1 to 60 minutes. The wood pieces to be treated are exposed directly and without wrapping a high-pressure steam atmosphere.
- thermally modified wood is a wood in which the cell wall structure of the material and its physical properties are changed under the influence of temperatures above 160 ° C and conditions with reduced oxygen supply.
- the wood is influenced so that at least some properties of the wood are permanently changed over the entire cross section.
- TMH The known technologies in the production of TMH are mainly characterized by the manner of reducing the oxygen concentration.
- the processes used in the industry use atmospheres of hot air and / or hot steam or hot nitrogen or a bath of hot oil.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method which makes it possible to use indigenous wood species for the production of tonewood, which have the necessary resonance quality, dimensional stability, rigidity, strength and hardness.
- the process and the manufacturing process, including the hitherto technologically necessary storage, should be significantly shortened in order to reduce the manufacturing costs and the energy requirement and to improve the availability of the thus created clay wood due to the increased demand.
- the native wood species used for the production of tonewood such as beech, maple, spruce or ash are cut after the impact.
- tonewood such as beech, maple, spruce or ash are cut after the impact.
- usual standard dimensions such. B. 900 mm x mm 200 x 30 mm used.
- the cut boards are stored in a climate chamber spaced from each other.
- the moisture content of the boards is between 8 and 22%.
- the air conditioning which serves the uniform, defined moisture penetration with a wood moisture of 8% to 22% and the temperature of the boards over the entire cross section and the entire length of the boards, takes place at temperatures between 20 ° C and 30 ° C, preferably at 25 ° C and a relative humidity of 45% to 65%, preferably from 50% to 60%, particularly preferably from 55%.
- the duration of the air conditioning depends on the mass / volume and the moisture content / equilibrium moisture content of the untreated wood introduced into the climatic chamber and is 12 to 48 hours.
- the air-conditioned wood is removed from the climatic chamber.
- the individual boards are subsequently sealed with suitable means to prevent or reduce the access of oxygen from the atmosphere.
- the seal prevents dispensing the resulting acetic acid, which serves as a catalyst for the change reactions on the cell wall components (eg hemicelluloses).
- the sealing takes place by form-fitting wrapping with a flexible material, such as a film, a hose or a tubular bag, which substantially corresponds to the shape of the wood sections to be treated.
- a thermally resistant and pressure-stable film, for. B. made of silicone, which conforms form-fitting.
- the completion of the wood from the ambient atmosphere creates the technological conditions for the subsequent process stages.
- the preferred form-fitting enclosure ensures that no dead space is created.
- the seal prevents extreme drying, since no water vapor can be removed. Accordingly, no shrinkage process takes place during treatment due to water vapor discharge, which fails to crack in the wood.
- the air is evacuated from the thermal envelope with suitable means and the envelope sealed gas-tight.
- phase I a first, successive heating of the interior of the heat treatment chamber and the stored wood stored therein to a treatment temperature of 140 ° C.
- the heating is carried out continuously at a heating rate of 5 K / hour.
- phase I is completed after about 20 to 30 hours, depending on the mass / volume of the wood to be treated. Due to the gentle and even heating of the entire volume of the board, in particular thermal stress gradients across the board cross-section are avoided.
- a first heat treatment at a constant treatment temperature of 140 ° C over a period of 2 to 6 hours, preferably 4 hours.
- the amorphous regions are reduced by elimination of hydroxyl groups and by crosslinking reactions within the wood components (eg hemicelluloses).
- Phase is a second, successive heating to a treatment temperature of 150 ° C to 160 ° C, preferably of 155 ° C.
- the heat treatment is preferably carried out at a constant heating rate of 5 K / hour.
- this phase the plasticization of lignin occurs.
- This III. Phase is completed after about 4 hours.
- Phase IV a second heat treatment is carried out at a constant treatment temperature, which was reached at the end of Phase III.
- the treatment temperature is kept constant for a period of about 10 hours.
- the hemicelluloses or the amorphous areas of the cellulose are degraded and restructured.
- acetic acid acts as a catalyst for the further conversion and degradation processes on the wood cell wall components.
- phase V a first, successive cooling of the woods to be treated to a treatment temperature of 130 ° C to 150 ° C, preferably from 140 ° C. To avoid voltage anomalies or stress cracks, it is preferable to treat at a constant cooling temperature of 5 K / hour. In this phase, gentle hardening of the lignin occurs.
- phase VI After reaching the desired treatment temperature follows phase VI, in which the woods undergo a first conditioning phase at a treatment temperature of 130 ° C to 150 ° C, preferably of 140 ° C.
- This annealing phase serves to balance the stress in the wood matrix.
- the conditioning phase is completed in about 4 hours.
- the woods to be treated in a second successive cooling phase to a temperature of 20 ° C to 30 ° C, preferably cooled to 25 ° C.
- the cooling process is preferably carried out continuously at a cooling rate of 5 K / hour. This phase is used to gently and evenly cool the boards over the entire board cross section to avoid thermal stress peaks.
- the treated woods are removed in their sealed, gas-tight envelope from the heat treatment chamber and there is a second evacuation of the located in the cells, resulting from the treatment and z. T. poisonous gases (eg Methanal and Furfural). Furthermore, it significantly reduces the smoky odor typical of thermally treated wood in a short time.
- T. poisonous gases eg Methanal and Furfural
- the wood remains in the sealed state at temperatures above room temperature, preferably stored in the range between 20 ° C and 30 ° C, more preferably stored at 25 ° C over a period of 24 hours.
- This phase serves the final and complete moisture balance in the entire volume of the board.
- another advantage of the innovative method is that the strengths are significantly increased, because during the treatment mainly conversion processes take place on the cell wall components. These are mainly reorientations and restructuring of cell wall components. Furthermore, in contrast to the previous methods, the material fatigue of the treated wood is reduced when using the instruments made therefrom as intended.
- the wood loses some of its mass, since at the chosen treatment temperatures, water of formation splits off, which advantageously leads to additional cross-linking between the cell wall components.
- the thermal treatment represents a shortened aging process. Wood deposited for decades has similar properties. The treatment significantly increases the resonance quality. Comparable wood, which has not been subjected to treatment, can only obtain these resonance qualities if it has been deposited for at least 50 years (natural wood aging). Through the innovative process, a permanent and immediate availability of Tonholz for the production of musical instruments or their parts can be secured.
- the innovative treatment advantageously reduces growth stresses and drying stresses in the wood structure, since the lignin, as a matrix component in the wood, changes to the plastic state during the treatment, as a result of which both the individual cells and the cellulose fibrils can reorient themselves against one another.
- the treated wood is also dimensionally stable against hygrischen environmental influences, since the lignin deposits during the treatment on the surface of the cell lumen and thus seals the cell wall of the wood cells against water vapor entry.
