## 1 Introduction  
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are the most promising materials and find their usage in a wide range of industrial applications such as automotive, aerospace, defense, marine, electronics, etc. Moreover, MMCs do not lose their basic behavior even in critical environmental conditions. Further, MMCs exhibit superior properties over monolithic materials in terms of higher stiffness, strength, specific weight, excellent wear and corrosion resistance, etc. [1; 2; 3]. Still, issues and the possibility of amalgamation of several matrices and reinforcements are present in the development of MMCs. Copper alloy matrix-based composites are widely utilized in different automobile and electronics components owing to their exceptional corrosion and wear resistance, high weldability, high thermal conductivity, etc. [4; 5]. [PERSON] et al. [6] studied the tensile and tribological properties of Cu matrix composites as brake pad materials for high-speed trains, in which the copper composites exhibited excellent mechanical and frictional behavior. The characteristics of various copper composites can be enhanced with proper consideration of the ceramic reinforcement particles. [PERSON] et al. [7] reported the usage of Al\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\) particulates as reinforcement in the Cu-based composite, where grain refinement strengthening was found to be superior to particle dispersion strengthening. Similarly,Ramesh et al. [8] examined the mechanical characteristics of Cu-based hybrid composites. The tensile properties and hardness of the hybrid composites were enhanced due to the synergistic effect of the reinforcement particulates along with their interfacial bonding with the matrix alloy. [PERSON] et al. [9] reported the mechanical properties of pure copper matrix composites incorporated with WC-Al\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{3}\)-Cr and WC-ZrO\({}_{2}\)-Cr reinforcements using the stir-casting process. They reported that the alumina particulate reinforced composites exhibited enhanced properties than zirconia owing to the load transfer effect and particle strengthening. Similarly, [PERSON] et al. [10] fabricated copper matrix-based composites with TiB\({}_{2}\) particles and TiB whiskers as reinforcements using in-situ casting followed by rolling and annealing. With the combined influence of whiskers and particles, the hybrid composites exhibited enhanced strength. Further, [PERSON] et al. [11] investigated the mechanical and microstructural characterization of Cu alloy composites reinforced with ZrB\({}_{2}\) by the in-situ synthesis process. The effects of cryo-rolling and aging treatment resulted in an increment in the tensile properties with the help of precipitation and dislocation strengthening mechanisms. [PERSON] et al. [12] produced Cu-SiC-Ti-B hybrid composites following the powder metallurgy method, where the homogenous interface with the matrix was observed. Further, the bending and tensile strength were also improved by incorporating hybrid reinforcements. Furthermore, [PERSON] et al. [13] reported the mechanical characteristics of Cu-TiB\({}_{2}\)-TiN hybrid composites prepared by high-temperature self-propagating reaction synthesis followed by the hot pressing process. The strengthening effect resulted from the higher load-carrying ability of the ceramic particulates yielded better tensile strength of the copper composites. [PERSON] et al. [14] investigated the tensile behavior of the copper hybrid composites reinforced with titanium dioxide and graphite particles synthesized by the stir casting method. Homogenous dispersion along with a reduction in grain size gave rise to refinement in the copper phase, which in turn strengthened the copper-based composites. [PERSON] et al. [15] studied the mechanical characteristics of Copper/WC hybrid composites with highly strained stainless steel chips fabricated through the liquid metallurgy process. The ultimate tensile strength and micro-hardness of the MMCs were enhanced considerably along with the corrosion resistance as related to the base copper alloy.
