The present research of the article is used to describe the microwave sintering of nitinol composite and its surface topography analysis by atomic microscopy (AFM). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) technique is used to analyze the characterization and alloying composition of the composite. Silicon carbide is the reinforcing particle between nickel and titanium. Wear test is conducted to investigate the worn surface morphology of the sintered specimen. The synthesized composite has exceptional material properties such as ultimate tensile strength of 1020MPa, 16% of elongation to fracture, 7.51 g/cc of density and hardness of 310 HV. Low wear rate of 0.01 mg/m is perceived at minimum load and minimum sintering time. Surface roughness is varied from 22.87 to 54.05nm at different sintering time. Maximum roughness height of 327.6 nm is observed in the surface profile of the composite.
