Film-forming material, film-forming slurry, spray coated film, and spray coated member

Abstract

The film is formed using one of two film-forming materials. The first film-forming material contains: particles containing a crystal phase of a rare earth element fluoride; particles containing a crystal phase of a rare earth element oxide; and particles containing a crystal phase of a rare earth element ammonium fluoride double salt. The second film-forming material contains: particles containing a crystal phase of a rare earth element fluoride; and particles containing a crystal phase of a rare earth element oxide and a crystal phase of a rare earth element ammonium fluoride double salt. If a spray coated film is to be formed by means of thermal spraying using this film-forming material or film-forming slurry in particular, it is possible to form a rare earth element oxyfluoride spray coated film without the need for excessive heat.
