Procedure for improving tile resistance to impact damage described in new report on tile densification. Developed for Space Shuttle reusable surface insulations, procedure has potential application when space restrictions necessitate thin layers of insulation with low thermal conductivity. Examples are advanced heat engines, such as adiabatic diesel and automotive gas turbine, as well as fast-heating high-temperature ovens.
