Implication

Experimental results show improved mechanical performance through optimized feedstock and sintering conditions in Al-6061 parts, indicating potential for complex geometries.

Key Points

Ultimate tensile strength reached 153.5 MPa and elongation of 28% in Al-6061 parts.
A feedstock with 57 vol% solids loading demonstrated stable viscosity of 710.9 Pa·s.
Sintering led to a peak density over 97% of the theoretical value, confirming effective material performance.
Additive manufacturing techniques enable the fabrication of intricate designs with reliable properties.
