Metal sintering/fusing with tin

tl;dw: I was not able to find any research/experiments on this topic, so here is a little test.
it seems that it is possible to make quite solid peaces using up to 1/5 tin content by weight without applying a lot of pressure during solidifying. You definitely have to use flux for this and quite a lot(I was successful with about 1/7 of the mixture weight).
Result is definitely quite soft and brittle.

I was fusing brass, but I wasn't able(didn't try too much tho) to get brass color out of it.
I can imagine to use this process in making async motor rotor cage. Or some artsy stuff, as this can be molded in hi-temp silicone.

I would definitely suggest to use non-smoking flux, if such a thing exists..
