Abstract
In this study, the effects of heat treatment on the static strength, dimensional stability and machinability of Rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis), subjected to heat treatment of varying temperatures and durations, were examined. It was found that the density, static strengths and dimensional stability of Rubberwood reduced with increasing temperature regimes. On the other hand, the machinability of the material was improved with heat treatment, although dust emission was significantly higher.
