Abstract

English

This study aims to examine the influence of yakisugi surface charring treatment on the physical and mechanical properties of Rajumas wood (Duabanga moluccana). The method involved surface burning for 0 (control), 20, 40, and 60 seconds using a butane gas torch. Tests were conducted on moisture content, density, shrinkage, water absorption, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture (MoR), and modulus of elasticity (MoE). Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD test (α = 0.05) was performed to evaluate treatment effects. The results showed that burning duration affected both physical and mechanical properties of Rajumas wood. Longer burning durations improved dimensional stability by reducing moisture content, water absorption, and swelling; however, mechanical strength (MoR and MoE) tended to decrease at 60 seconds due to partial thermal degradation of cell wall polymers. Moderate exposure (20–40 seconds) provided an optimal balance between improved stability and acceptable strength retention. This study highlights the novel application of Yakisugi to a fast-growing tropical hardwood, offering a sustainable surface modification technique for enhancing durability and performance in non-structural wood applications.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perlakuan pembakaran permukaan teknik yakisugi terhadap sifat fisis dan mekanis kayu Rajumas (Duabanga moluccana). Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan pembakaran permukaan kayu selama 0 (kontrol), 20, 40, dan 60 detik menggunakan obor gas butana. Pengujian meliputi kadar air, kerapatan, penyusutan, daya serap air, pengembangan tebal, keteguhan patah (MoR), dan modulus elastisitas (MoE). Analisis statistik menggunakan one-way ANOVA yang dilanjutkan dengan uji lanjut Tukey’s HSD (α = 0,05) untuk mengetahui pengaruh perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lama pembakaran berpengaruh terhadap sifat fisis dan mekanis kayu Rajumas. Pembakaran dengan durasi lebih lama meningkatkan stabilitas dimensi melalui penurunan kadar air, daya serap air, dan pengembangan tebal; namun kekuatan mekanis (MoR dan MoE) cenderung menurun pada pembakaran 60 detik akibat degradasi termal parsial pada polimer dinding sel. Perlakuan sedang (20–40 detik) memberikan keseimbangan optimal antara peningkatan stabilitas dimensi dan penurunan kekuatan yang masih dapat diterima. Penelitian ini menyoroti penerapan baru teknik Yakisugi pada kayu tropis cepat tumbuh, yang menawarkan metode modifikasi permukaan berkelanjutan untuk meningkatkan keawetan dan performa kayu pada aplikasi non-struktural.
