Hi!
When debarking wood logs, the temperature of the infed logs vary dependent on season and local temperature.
I've heard that there generally exist a temperature of which the bark wood bond strength (BWBS) is at its lowest, making the debarking easier.
My challenge is that i've only heard it - this temperature figure. Searching for research covering this topic has not given any specific answers on this question.
So, do any of you either have a reference or a tip which may help me further in this search?
For simplicity we can assume softwood, i.e., Norway spruce and Scotts pine.

The below mentioned researcher has many articles about wood, pulp, and paper. Look specially at the older articles. Best wishes.

Hi,
This is a very complicated issue and many factors should be considered. The below is a title of a recent paper about the debarking of frozen logs, I think it show an interesting aspect of temperature affect in debarking.
Good luck,
Debarking enhancement of frozen logs. Part I: Effect of temperature on bark/wood bond strength of balsam fir and black spruce logs.
Younes Shirmohammadli, you're right, that seems to be a very on-the-point article. However, I requested access to that article a month ago, and still haven't gotten it. You know any other ways to get to read that particular article?
Hi,
This is a word file of the article which you are looking for, I remember that one of my colleagues has sent it for me few moths ago.
Good luck,
Younes
