Abstract
Sintering process of compacted silica fume samples with respect to var ious water vapour partial pressures (p(total)=101 kPa) within the furn ace atmosphere has been characterized by means of dilatometry and bulk density measurements. Dilatometric study shows the strong dependence of sintering process on the water vapour partial pressure. Water vapou r intensifies the process and affects relative densities of the final product, as well.
