Improvements of Arboblend V2 Nature Characteristics through Depositing Thin Ceramic Layers.

The paper aims to investigate the behavior of Arboblend V2 Nature biopolymer samples covered with three ceramic powders, Amdry 6420 (CrO), Metco 143 (ZrO 18TiO 10YO) and Metco 136F (CrO-xSiO-yTiO). The coated samples were obtained by injection molding, and the micropowder deposition was achieved by using the Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS) method, with varied thickness layers. The present study will only describe the results for nine-layer deposition because, as the number of layers' increases, the surface quality and mechanical/thermal characteristics such as wear, hardness and thermal resistance are also increased.
