Purpose of Review

The furniture sector worldwide is rapidly developing and diversifying. The furniture market faces nowadays a competition between various composites and solid wood furniture which is more reliable and environmentally-friendly. Various valuable species, such as oak, ash, and cherry, in addition to other common hardwood and softwood species are chosen by small- or medium-sized furniture companies. Due to its workability, properties, and appearance, black alder can be considered a suitable material for furniture manufacturing. This review offers an outline of the potential of black alder as a wood resource with an emphasis on applications in the furniture industry.

Recent Findings

Results from recent studies that have focused on active silviculture, uses, wood properties, color changes under air and light exposure, surface quality of processed surfaces during milling and sanding, coating properties, and process optimization are presented. Findings of these studies would help for practical applications so that this wood species can be processed more efficiently for value-added products with enhanced surfaces, improved appearance, and extended service life.

Summary

Black alder as an under-utilized wood species has been shown to have good potential for the wood industry so that its use can successfully reduce import activities of other species and value-added furniture products can be manufactured. For further studies, the properties of plywood made of densified veneers, surface wettability, and coating performance of such products should be evaluated for the furniture industry.

黑Al木（Alnus glutinosa L.）-欧洲筛选下家具行业增值产品的资源

审查目的

全球家具行业正在迅速发展和多元化。如今，家具市场面临着各种复合材料和实木家具之间更激烈，更环保的竞争。中小型家具公司还选择了其他有价值的树种，例如橡树，白蜡木和樱桃树，以及其他常见的硬木和软木树种。由于黑work木的可加工性，性能和外观，可以认为是用于家具制造的合适材料。这篇综述概述了黑al木作为木材资源的潜力，重点是在家具行业中的应用。

最近的发现

提供了近期研究的结果，这些研究集中在主动营林，用途，木材特性，空气和光照下的颜色变化，铣削和打磨过程中加工表面的表面质量，涂层性能以及工艺优化方面。这些研究的结果将有助于实际应用，以便可以更有效地加工这种木材，以生产具有增强表面，改善外观和延长使用寿命的增值产品。

概要

黑色al木作为一种未充分利用的木材品种，在木材工业中已显示出良好的潜力，因此其使用可成功减少其他物种的进口活动，并可生产高附加值的家具产品。为了进一步研究，应对家具行业评估由致密单板制成的胶合板的性能，表面润湿性和此类产品的涂层性能。
