The goal of this research was to determine the impact of cold forging on the mechanical characteristics and microstructure of Al MMCs at various sea sand percentages and forging deformations. The wettability of sea sand was improved by applying an electroless coating just before the stir-casting procedure. Using the stir casting technique, a composite material of Al6061 and sea sand was fabricated at several percentages of sea sand in weight, such as 2, 4, and 6%. In addition, open-die forging in cold settings was studied to learn more about the deformation characteristics of Al6061-sea sand composite. Composites were tested for density, porosity, microstructure, macrostructure, and hardness. The behaviour of microstructures was studied with an optical microscope. Brinell hardness readings taken according to ASTM E-10 were used to characterize the composite. The stir casting method was used to investigate and analyse the samples characteristics. More sea sand particles are distributed throughout the matrix as the composite’s density decreases. Increases in porosity are associated with an increase in reinforcement percentage, as this leads to more matrix-reinforcement surface contact and hence more porosity. The hardness diminishes with an increase in the proportion of sea sand particles. The mechanical qualities of the composite were enhanced by an oxide compound found on the sea sand. Evidence suggests that forging enhances mechanical and microstructure qualities.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in research studies that include the fabrication and characterization of metal matrix composites (MMCs) with unique features. This comprehensive review delves into the evolution and current status of copper MMCs (Cu‐MMCs) across various industrial sectors. Cu‐MMCs have garnered attention due to their remarkable properties, which include excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. This study explores the fabrication processes, and intricate connections between microstructure and properties of Cu‐MMCs, which encompass ceramic and solid lubricants (SLs) reinforcements. The various types of reinforcement and fabrication methods are examined and highlighted advancements in designing compositions and optimizing microstructures during fabrication. Additionally, this study evaluates the friction and wear characteristics of self‐lubricating hybrid composites, providing insights into effective lubrication ranges and overall tribological behavior patterns. This review highlights that Cu‐MMCs demonstrate superior mechanical strength, wear resistance, and self‐lubricating properties due to ceramics and SLs reinforcements. The mechanisms underlying this behavior involve the formation of a protective transfer layer during sliding and effective lubrication provided by SLs, which reduces direct contact and facilitates smoother interactions between the mating surfaces. The review culminates in an outlook on the prospects of Cu‐MMCs, emphasizing the advantages conferred by their utilization.
