Hi Moskal

to the Surface Engineering Forum.

I doubt if any of these materials are readily available in powder form for thermal spraying. You could try talking to companies like Sulzer Metco or Praxair (they certainly must have an interest). If they can't help you, then you will probably need to find a company that can make your powder to your recipe and specification.

Metco or now Sulzer Metco use to or still supply a ceria-yttria stabilised zirconia powder (Metco 205NS I think).
