本文探讨了热处理山毛榉木材作为玩具原料的潜力。天然山毛榉木材是一种常见的玩具材料，并比较了处理和未处理木材的性能。在不同的气候条件下开发和测试了用于分析移动部件之间的压配合和接头的样品。此外，还开发了用于分析木质部件尺寸稳定性的样品，并在不同湿度和室温下进行了观察。结果表明，热改性山毛榉木是一种很有前途的木制玩具材料。据推测，这种原材料将在未来用于玩具行业，而且木制玩具的设计将受到影响，因为可以证明这种原材料可以用于与功能性玩具设计相关的各种开发。
This paper deals with the potentials of thermally treated beech wood as raw material for making toys. Natural beech wood is a common toy material and the properties of treated and untreated wood are compared. Samples to analyse press fits and joints between moving components were developed and tested under varying climatic conditions. Furthermore samples to analyse the dimensional stability of wooden components were developed and observed under varying levels of humidity and room temperature. The results show that thermally modified beech wood is a promising material for the manufacture of wooden toys. It is assumed that this raw material will be used in toy industries in the future, and furthermore the design of wooden toys will be influenced as it can be proven that this raw material can be employed in diverse developments in relation to the design of functional toys.
