Core-to-Shell Moisture Gradients and Case-Hardening
Rapid surface drying causes outer fibers to set in tension while the core remains green, causing interior honeycomb rupture.
Intermittent Steam Conditioning Cycles
Injecting low-pressure saturated steam plasticizes surface fibers, equalizing residual drying stresses throughout the slab.
End-Grain Wax Emulsion Sealant Applications
Blocking rapid longitudinal moisture loss from open vessel capillaries forces uniform radial drying.
