description The paper aims to investigate the behavior of Arboblend V2 Nature biopolymer samples covered with three ceramic powders, Amdry 6420 (Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), Metco 143 (ZrO<sub>2</sub> 18TiO<sub>2</sub> 10Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) and Metco 136F (Cr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-xSiO<sub>2</sub>-yTiO<sub>2</sub>).
