Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the marine degradation of untreated and chemically treated wood using non-destructive methods.
Evaluated untreated wood and various chemically treated woods using visual inspection and mass loss rates.
Measured volume loss rates through X-ray CT scanning images after marine exposure.
Compared marine degradation of heartwood and sapwood as well as treated vs untreated samples.
Heartwood showed higher resistance to marine degradation than sapwood.
Chemically treated woods demonstrated better resistance to marine organisms compared to untreated wood.
Volume loss rate analysis accurately reflected the degradation status of wood.

Evaluates marine degradation in untreated and chemically treated wood, suggesting treatment improves resistance.
