Densification process increases impact resistance of lightweight, porous silica tile without appreciably raising weight. Colloidal suspension of silica used to increase density of small portion of tile to be strengthened. Process controls penetration of suspension laterally and vertically so densification limited to volume where needed. Insures weight increased only minimally. See also "Attaching Metal Fasteners to Silica Tiles" (MSC-20537).
