Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A thermal spray slurry of the present invention contains ceramic particles in a content of 10% by mass or more and 85% by mass or less, and has a viscosity of 3,000 mPa·s or less. The ceramic particles have an average particle size of, for example, 1 nm or more and 5 μm or less. The thermal spray slurry may further contain a dispersant. The thermal spray slurry may further contain a viscosity modifier. The thermal spray slurry may further contain a flocculant.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A thermal spray slurry comprising ceramic particles in a content of 10% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less, and having a viscosity of 20 mPa·s or less, wherein the ceramic particles consist of yttrium oxide, aluminum oxide, or yttria-stabilized zirconium oxide, and wherein the ceramic particles have an average particle size of 1.1 μm or more and 6 μm or less. 2. The thermal spray slurry according to claim 1 , further comprising a dispersant. 3. The thermal spray slurry according to claim 2 , further comprising a viscosity modifier. 4. The thermal spray slurry according to claim 1 , further comprising a viscosity modifier. 5. The thermal spray slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic particles have an average particle size of 1.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less. 6. The thermal spray slurry according to claim 5 , further comprising a flocculant. 7. The thermal spray slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic particles have an average particle size of 1.6 μm or more and 6 μm or less. 8. The thermal spray slurry according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the thermal spray slurry is 8 mPa·s or less. 9. A method for forming a thermal spray coating, comprising high velocity flame spraying the thermal spray slurry according to claim 1 , containing water as a dispersion medium, to form a thermal spray coating. 10. The method for forming a thermal spray coating according to claim 9 , further comprising feeding the thermal spray slurry to a thermal spraying apparatus by an axial feeding method. 11. The method for forming a thermal spray coating according to claim 9 , further comprising feeding the thermal spray slurry to a thermal spraying apparatus by using two feeders in such a way that the variation period of the feed rate of the thermal spray slurry from one of the feeders is opposite in phase to that from the other feeder. 12. The method for forming a thermal spray coating according to claim 9 , further comprising: temporarily storing the thermal spray slurry delivered from a feeder in a tank immediately before reaching a thermal spraying apparatus; and feeding the thermal spray slurry in the tank to the thermal spraying apparatus by utilizing free fall of the thermal spray slurry. 13. The method for forming a thermal spray coating according to claim 9 , further comprising feeding the thermal spray slurry to a thermal spraying apparatus through an electrically conductive tube. 14. A method for forming a thermal spray coating, comprising plasma spraying the thermal spray slurry according to claim 1 , containing an organic solvent as a dispersion medium, to form a thermal spray coating. 15. The method for forming a thermal spray coating according to claim 14 , further comprising feeding the thermal spray slurry to a thermal spraying apparatus by an axial feeding method. 16. The method for forming a thermal spray coating according to claim 14 , further comprising feeding the thermal spray slurry to a thermal spraying apparatus by using two feeders in such a way that the variation period of the feed rate of the thermal spray slurry from one of the feeders is opposite in phase to that from the other feeder. 17. The method for forming a thermal spray coating according to claim 14 , further comprising: temporarily storing the thermal spray slurry delivered from a feeder in a tank immediately before reaching a thermal spraying apparatus; and feeding the thermal spray slurry in the tank to the thermal spraying apparatus by utilizing free fall of the thermal spraying slurry. 18. The method for forming a thermal spray coating according to claim 14 , further comprising feeding the thermal spray slurry to a thermal spraying apparatus through an electrically conductive tube.
