Sealing of glass edge is a key step in developing cost-effective and durable vacuum insulated glazing for the drive towards net-zero energy buildings. In this study, to achieve a high-strength sealing with scalable and low-cost processing, we investigated a novel sealing method based on additive manufacturing and laser process and reported quantitative analysis of the laser assisted method sealing strength and the requirement of vacuum insulation glazing. Micro-size glass frits in printing ink and a continuous-wave laser curing were employed to allow the formation of a hermetic bonding layer with low thermal budget. Controlling various sealing parameters including laser traveling speed, spot diameter, and laser power, the water seepage and mechanical strength of the resulting glass-to-glass bonding were examined. Through the response surface methodology, we identified the optimized sealing condition where the bonding strength reached 5.68 MPa. A comparation of the bonding strength between thermal sealing method and laser-assisted method has been analyzed as well.
