The hot pressing of powdered fused silica at temperatures below the melting and devitrification regions is described. The fabrication of high‐density shapes of fused silica is possible by this process. A relation expressing densification as a function of viscosity, time, applied pressure, and initial compaction is essentially substantiated.
