Patent ID: 7842383

Claim:
A thermal spraying powder comprising granulated and sintered particles of an yttrium-aluminum double oxide formed by granulating and sintering raw-material particles, wherein the crushing strength of the granulated and sintered particles is 86 MPa or more, and 10% particle size D 10 of the granulated and sintered particles is 6 μm or more, and wherein, when x-ray diffraction of the thermal spraying powder is measured, the ratio of the intensity of an x-ray diffraction peak of a (222) plane of yttria to the intensity of the maximum peak among an x-ray diffraction peak of a (420) plane of a garnet phase of the yttrium-aluminum double oxide, an x-ray diffraction peak of a (420) plane of a perovskite phase of the yttrium-aluminum double oxide, and an x-ray diffraction peak of a (122) plane of a monoclinic phase of the yttrium-aluminum double oxide is 20% or less.
