Abstract

This study aimed to identify changes in the speed of wave propagation caused by two preservative treatments simple by immersion in the woods of Eucalyptus saligna, Corymbia citriodora and Eucayptus teretirconis. The study selected three mature trees for each species, good stem, at least 30 cm in diameter at breast height, from homogeneous stands. This material was selected and drawn at random, the logs were deployed at the sawmill and the FEPAGRO specimens prepared and treated with preservatives CCB (copper chromate borate) and waste oil. The assays were performed with an apparatus for transmitting ultrasonic waves and transducers used were type dry spot. Through this study it is found that the two preservative treatments were able to significantly alter the wave speed in the wood of Eucalyptus saligna.
