In present days, additive manufacturing plays an essential role in manufacturing industries. The powder bed fusion techniques were used to fabricate the silicon carbide based aluminium composite. The synthesized aluminium composite has hardness of 220 BHN, tensile strength of 390 MPa, density of 6.34 g/cc and elongation of 12 %.Laser source is used to provide the heat source and melt the metal powders of aluminium 6063 and silicon carbide. The composition and characterization was analyzed through Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface morphology was analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was concluded that the synthesized aluminium composite has admirable material properties and surface characteristics. Surface with average surface roughness of 37.38 nm was observed from AFM. The average waviness is 35.41 nm. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
