A novel method, consisting of co- Received in revised form 18 May 2009 precipitation, spray-drying, heat-treatment and plasma-densification, is developed to prepare Y2 SiO5 Accepted 24 May 2009 powders for thermal-spraying. The composition, morphology and flowability of the synthesized Y2 SiO5 powders are investigated by XRD, SEM and Hall Flowmeter, respectively. The results show that the syn- Keywords: thesized Y2 SiO5 powders are nearly spherical with high purity. The apparent density and flowability of Yttrium silicate the Y2 SiO5 powders are 1.87 g/cm3 and 37 s/50 g, respectively, which lead to a high deposition ef
