| Abstract Scope |
Low-Cost Metal Material Extrusion (LCMMEX) process has gained attention in recent years to produce metallic parts with complex designs. High-Iron/Low-PLA composite materials have been extensively researched to improve their properties and functionality for advanced manufacturing applications. This study aims to develop knowledge blocks for producing High-Iron/Low-PLA composite parts and analyze their mechanical, magnetic, and thermal properties and their sintering behavior based on print parameters. A rectangular sample is manufactured using MEX process by varying layer height, infill density, and print speed. The results show that sintering significantly affects the change in surface roughness, weight, and dimensional accuracy of the printed parts. Furthermore, an increase in the infill density leads to a significant increase in magnetic flux. The findings of this research provide insights into the influence of print parameters and sintering on the properties of High-Iron/Low-PLA composite parts, which can be used for high-density applications. |
