Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An yttrium-base sprayed coating is obtained by thermally spraying yttrium oxide, yttrium fluoride or yttrium oxyfluoride onto a substrate to form a coating of 10-500 μm thick, and chemically cleaning the coating with a cleaning liquid of organic acid, inorganic acid or a mixture thereof until the population of particles with a size of up to 300 nm becomes no more than 5 particles/mm2 of the coating surface. The yttrium-base sprayed coating exhibits high corrosion resistance even in a halogen gas plasma atmosphere and prevents yttrium-base particles from spalling off during etching treatment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preparing a yttrium-base sprayed coating, comprising the steps of: thermally spraying a spray material comprising particles of one or two or more selected from the group consisting of yttrium oxide, yttrium fluoride and yttrium oxyfluoride onto a substrate which is readily dissolved in acid so as to form a yttrium-base sprayed coating having a thickness of 10 to 500 μm on the substrate, and chemically cleaning a surface of the yttrium-base sprayed coating with a cleaning liquid composed of an organic acid aqueous solution so as to reduce a number of particles with a size of up to 300 nm which exist on the surface of the coating to not more than 5 particles per square millimeters, wherein the organic acid aqueous solution is an aqueous solution of at least one selected from the group consisting of a monofunctional carboxylic acid, a difunctional carboxylic acid, a trifunctional carboxylic acid and a hydroxy acid, or an aqueous solution of a mixture of at least two thereof. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the monofunctional carboxylic acid is formic acid or acetic acid, the difunctional carboxylic acid is maleic acid or tartaric acid or phthalic acid, the trifunctional carboxylic acid is citric acid, and the hydroxy acid is lactic acid. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the substrate readily dissolved in acid is selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, and aluminum, nickel, chromium, zinc and an alloy thereof, and metal silicon. 4. The method of claim 2 wherein the substrate readily dissolved in acid is selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, and aluminum, nickel, chromium, zinc and an alloy thereof, and metal silicon.
