<div>This paper presents the results of a study on composite coatings with a copper matrix and embedded carbon dispersion phase particles. For comparative purposes, the study also includes copper coatings without embedded dispersion phase particles. The coatings were produced on steel substrates by electrochemical reduction from multicomponent electrolyte solutions using a current density of 3 A/dm2, magnetic stirring of 100 rpm at 298 K ± 2 K. Carbon allotropic varieties of carbon (graphene, diamond, carbon nanotubes) were used as carbon phases and characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The fabrication of Cu/carbon phase composite coatings is described. The results of the surface topography and morphology, structure and adhesion of the coatings to the steel substrate are presented.</div>
