Abstract The current study involves the synthesis of Al6061 alloy reinforced with B4C particle composites. This is achieved by optimising factors such as the size and addition level of B4C particulates, as well as the preheating temperature of the particulates and the processing temperature of the composite. Ceramic B4C particulates are added with an addition level of 5, 7 and 11 wt. %. In this study, a new method involving two stages of mixing, as well as preheating of the reinforcing particles along with K2TiF6 are adopted to accomplish better dispersion. XRD and SEM/EDAX examinations are used to describe the produced composites. Also, the composites' mechanical and wear properties are tested in normal settings. A new method was used to make B4C particles spread out better in liquid Al. Adding ceramic B4C particles to Al6061 also makes it stronger and more resistant to wear.
