Stress distributed so high load borne. Fastener bonded in densified hole or captured in plug of similar refractory material, which in turn bonded in hole in parent tile. Plug or bonding distributes mechanical load from fastener to broad region surrounding fastener, reducing local stress concentration and likelihood of breakage. Bonded-plug method has been successful in attaching mechanical fasteners to porous silica refractory tiles used on outer surface of Space Shuttle orbiter.
