Optimal parameters of microwave sintering process on nickel based composite

•Microwave sintering process is the most economical and feasible technique to fabricate composite with superior quality of products.•Nickel, aluminium and titanium alloy were reinforced with silicon carbide particles.•The different microwave sintering constraints like sintering temperature, heating rate and hold time were considered to fabricate the composite.•Taguchi approach was used to optimize the microwave sintering process factor.
