Abstract

There are two main possibilities to substitute conventional wood material in the panel production: the use of wood of fast-growing trees plantations and/or the use of alternative ligno-cellulosic raw materials. Especially particleboards produced from the ‘‘energetic’’ willow present the same or better mechanical parameters compared to particleboards conventionally produced mainly from soft woods. Increasing bio-fuel production, mostly from rape, will cause an escalation of the rape cultivation area and, as a result, will augment the amount of waste (rape straw) to be utilized. The aim of this study was to verify the friction coefficient of the new board types in tribological contact with tools surfaces. The investigations were performed in situ. The results of the friction coefficient related to the tools surfaces as well as lingo-cellulose materials are presented.

Zusammenfassung

Bei der Herstellung von plattenförmigen Holzwerkstoffen kann das herkömmliche Holzmaterial im Wesentlichen auf zwei Arten ersetzt werden: entweder durch Holz aus Schnellwuchsplantagen oder alternativen Lignocellulosen. Im Vergleich zu den herkömmlichen, überwiegend aus Nadelholz hergestellten Spanplatten weisen Platten aus dem für energetische Verwendung gedachtem Weidenholz gleiche oder bessere mechanische Eigenschaften auf. Die Produktion von Biobrennstoff, vor allem aus Raps, gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung, und wird zu steigenden Rapsanbauflächen führen, wodurch sich wiederum die Menge an nutzbaren Reststoffen (Rapsstroh) erhöhen wird. In dieser Studie soll der Reibungskoeffizient der neuen Plattentypen zwischen der Platte und den Werkzeugoberflächen bestimmt werden. Die Untersuchungen wurden in situ durchgeführt. Die Reibungskoeffizienten in Abhängigkeit der Werkzeugoberflächen und der lignozellulosen Materialien werden dargestellt.
