Abstract

AbstractThis work investigates a novel method of producing complex-shaped aluminum parts by slurry-based binder jetting and sintering. In this process, a green body is built up by layer-wise deposition of an aqueous aluminum suspension and selective powder bonding by ink-jet printing. The powder bulk generated from the suspension shows an increased density compared to powder-based binder jetting and, thus, a high initial density for the subsequent densification step. This allows for higher final densities and reduced shrinkage. Aluminum is of special interest as it is widely available and of low density but challenging to sinter due to an oxide skin surrounding every particle. The research in this paper investigates the effects of the sintering atmosphere and sintering additives on the microstructure of powder compacts produced by slurry-based binder jetting. The incorporation of magnesium as an additive during the sintering process of aluminum has been found to substantially improve densification during sintering in an argon atmosphere.
