Discussion

Analysis of mechanical properties and fabrication processes in 6061 aluminum components, indicating reliable performance in complex geometries.

Mechanical properties exhibited an ultimate tensile strength of 153.5 ± 3 MPa and elongation of 28 ± 3%.
The selected feedstock with 57 vol% solids exhibited stable viscosity of 710.9 ± 3.2 Pa·s during processing.
Observational analysis of fabrication processes confirms effective sintering using thermal analysis for optimal performance.
Results imply that additive manufacturing enables efficient production of aluminum components with complex geometries.

Soltani et al. (2025) studied this question.
