This study reports preliminary results on the fabrication and characterization of selective plated copper-based coatings with enhanced surface properties and durability through the incorporation of zinc oxide and titanium oxide particles. The coatings were produced using an electrolyte containing 3% wt. zinc oxide and 1% wt. titanium oxide particles, and their microstructures, phase compositions, and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show that the incorporation of ceramic particles leads to the formation of metal-matrix composite materials with finer grain structures, improved microhardness, and enhanced wear resistance. The coating incorporating ZnO particles exhibits superior wear resistance, maintaining stable roughness values and minimal material loss, while the coating with TiO2 particles also shows improved wear resistance with moderate roughness increases.
