The present investigation involves experimental and modeling work in welding processes considered potentially suitable for the joining of RSP materials. The material studied was stainless steel 304. The processes investigated experimentally in some detail include laser, capacitor discharge, inertia, and gas tungsten arc welding. Although the latter is clearly not a rapid solidification process, it was used as a well characterized standard for comparing the welding response of rapidly solidified materials with both conventional and other RSP materials. Modeling efforts were considered important to this study for correlation with the original RSP parameters. Such a correlation is required for determining the suitability of joining techniques. 6 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
