Sintering isn't really a technology that would be looked at for parts that get load cycled in comparison to other ways of forming metals. I'm not hot on sintering (hohoho) because it's just not used in aerospace structures, but it wouldn't be my go to choice. Then again, this application is very limited in terms of life so it may well be fine if it actually can be scaled.
