Abstract

Material balance of densification process was made to assess its efficiency in dependence on impregnation conditions. Theoretical values of apparent porosity, bulk density and apparent specific gravity were computed and compared with experimental ones. Densification efficiency was determined as the ratio of volume of added matrix to volume of pores.
