1. A process for joining solid compositions, comprising:

  • placing a first solid composition having a first joining zone and a second solid composition, discrete from said first solid composition, having a second joining zone in a chamber;

    positioning a first gas phase, which comprises a substance that decomposes to a material that adheres to the first and second solid compositions during the process, proximate the first joining zone and the second joining zone;

    directing an energy beam to the first and second joining zones to selectively deposit material from the first gas phase on the first joining zone and the second joining zone until a joint is formed between the first and second solid compositions wherein the joint adheres to the first and second compositions at the first and second joining zones.
