Abstract: A sprayed article is disclosed including a substrate and a sprayed coating deposited thereon and containing a rare earth oxyfluoride as main phase. Provided is a slurry for suspension plasma spraying, which is a spray material used for suspension plasma spraying in an atmosphere including an oxygen-containing gas, contains 5-40 mass % of rare earth fluoride particles having a maximum particle diameter (D100) of 12 ?m or less, and contains one or more types of solvent selected from among water and organic solvents. A rare earth acid fluoride-containing sprayed film, in which process shift and particle generation hardly occur, can be stably formed on a base material by carrying out suspension plasma spraying in an atmosphere including an oxygen-containing gas. A spraying member provided with this sprayed film exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to halogen-based gas plasma.

Abstract: 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 ?m 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.
