Abstract

Three layer laminated lumber is extensively used in the manufacture of window frames. The insulating capacity is an important factor. Some producers are trying to expand the market and have introduced novel scantlings with higher insulating capacities into the market. The core layer of these scantlings was replaced by new materials. The three types are pressed cork, Polyurethane and Purenit. In this study the wear effects of wood scantling with new core layers on the recession of blades was studied. Four different types of tungsten carbide blades with different grain sizes (normal, fine, super fine and diamond coated) were used. Results show that Purenit is the most abrasive material for blades. The glue line is also a source of destruction for blades. The authors suggest that super fine coated blade is the best type for machining wood-Purenit scantling. The two other scantlings can be machined with normal grain coated carbide blade without difficulties.

Zusammenfassung

3-lagige Schichthölzer werden häufig bei der Herstellung von Fensterrahmen verwendet. Dabei spielt das Isoliervermögen eine wichtige Rolle. Einige Hersteller versuchen Fensterrahmen mit höheren Isolationseigenschaften auf dem Markt zu etablieren. Dabei wurde die Kernschicht der verleimten Fensterkantel durch neue Materialien ersetzt. Die drei verwendeten Isolationsmaterialien sind Kork, Polyurethan und Purenit. In dieser Studie wurde der Werkzeugverschleiß bei der Bearbeitung von solchen Holzrahmen mit einer neuen Kernschicht untersucht. Dabei wurden vier verschiedene Hartmetallschneiden (Normal, Fein, Superfein und Diamantbeschichtet) betrachtet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Klebefuge, die die Holzlagen mit der Isolationsschicht verklebt, den größten Verschleiß am Werkzeug verursacht. Von den verwendeten Isolationsmaterialien ist Purenit das abrasivste Material. Von den getesteten Werkzeugen erwies sich Super Fine als am Besten geeignet für die Bearbeitung von Purenit. Die Kanteln mit der Kork- bzw. Polyurethanschicht verursachten nur geringen Verschleiß am Werkzeug.
