Abstract:
1. A process for manufacturing at least a portion of a seal between a first glass panel and a second glass panel in a glazing, the process comprising: depositing a first adhesion layer onto a first peripheral zone of the first panel and a second adhesion layer onto a second peripheral zone of the second panel; welding a first metal seal element to the first adhesion layer; and welding a second metal seal element or the first metal seal element to the second adhesion layer; wherein depositing the first and second adhesion layers comprises a high-velocity oxy-fuel flame-spraying process; wherein the depositing the first and second adhesion layers is in an atmosphere at atmospheric pressure; welding the first metal seal element to the first adhesion layer is in an atmosphere at atmospheric pressure; the process comprises welding a second metal seal element distinct from the first metal seal element to the second adhesion layer in an atmosphere at atmospheric pressure; and the process further comprises welding the first metal seal element to the second metal seal element in an atmosphere at reduced pressure or under vacuum.
