An experimental facility including a liquid solder injector was built. Prototype seals were produced with tin solder alloys with variable Al contents and the hermiticity and interface integrity was determined. Solder alloys with an Al content of 112.5 ppm resulted in the strongest adhesion forces, broadly consistent with a previous study at the laboratory scale. The resulting prototypes consist of a bonded area of ∼450 cm2 along the perimeter of a 0.73 m2 glass pane and display consistently strong bonds for sections over a meter in length, demonstrating that activate d liquid solder anodic bonding is not restricted to small-area applications.enanodic bondingsoft solderingliquid solder injectionprototypingmetal-glass jointvacuum insulation glazing621620697journal article
