Abstract: A powder of melted particles, more than 95% by number of the particles exhibiting a circularity of greater than or equal to 0.85. The powder including more than 99.8% of a rare earth metal oxide and/or of hafnium oxide and/or of an aluminum oxide, as percentage by mass based on the oxides. The powder has a median particle size D50 of less than 15 ?m, a 90 percentile of the particle sizes, D90, of less than 30 ?m, and a size dispersion index (D90?D10)/D10 of less than 2, and a relative density of greater than 90%. The Dn percentiles of the powder are the particle sizes corresponding to the percentages, by number, of n %, on the cumulative distribution curve of the size of the particles in the powder and the particle sizes are classified by increasing order.

Abstract: A powder formed of fused particles. More than 95% by number of the feed particles exhibiting a circularity of greater than or equal to 0.85.

Abstract: A powder of fused particles. The powder includes, in percentage by weight based on the oxides, more than 98% of a stabilized oxide selected from stabilized zirconium oxides, stabilized hafnium oxides and mixtures thereof, the stabilized oxide being stabilized by a stabilizer selected from the oxides of Y, Ca, Ce, Sc, Mg, In, La, Gd, Nd, Sm, Dy, Er, Yb, Eu, Pr, and Ta, called “stabilizing oxides”, and the mixtures of these stabilizing oxides. The powder has: a median particle size D50 under 15 ?m, a 90th percentile of the particle sizes, D90, under 30 ?m, and a size dispersion index (D90?D10)/D10 below 2, and a relative density above 90%. The percentiles Dn of the powder are the particle sizes corresponding to the percentages, by number, of n %, on the cumulative distribution curve of the powder particle size and the particle sizes are classified by increasing order.
