1. A method for joining a first metal surface to a second metal surface, said method comprising the steps:

  • forming metallized particles having particulate cores with a hardness greater than that of the metal surfaces;

    applying the particles to at least one of the metal surfaces;

    bringing the surfaces together to form an interface; and

    applying a compressive force to the surfaces in a direction generally normal to said interface.
