This thermal spray material including composite particles containing an yttrium oxide and an ammonium yttrium fluoride complex salt is used to form a thermal spray film comprising yttrium oxyfluoride formed by thermal-spraying in the air. When the thermal spray film is formed through thermal-spraying in the air by using the thermal spray material of the present invention, the loss of fluorine from the thermal spraying material during thermal-spraying is reduced, and a thermal spray film containing yttrium oxyfluoride can be formed by controlling a composition, so that a thermal spray film having a desired composition, particularly a desired F/Y, can be easily formed.

The present invention relates to a nickel-based self-fluxing alloy, a glass manufacturing member, a mold, and a glass gob transporting member having an improved slipperiness against a glass gob. A nickel-based self-fluxing alloy used in a glass manufacturing member for transporting or molding glass with a viscosity of log η=3 to 14.6, comprises: boron (B) in an amount of ranging from 0 percent to 1.5 percent by mass; hard particles; and silicon (Si). Preferably, the amount of boron (B) ranges from 0 percent to less than 1.0 percent by mass. Preferably, the hard particles contain at least one of a carbide, a nitrides, an oxide and a cermet. Preferably, the nickel-based self-fluxing alloy comprises at least one metal selected from Group 4, 5 and 6 elements in an amount of ranging from 0 percent to 30 percent by mass.

A method of manufacturing a device includes thermally spraying tungsten carbine in feedstock that does not include Cobalt but that includes Nickel, Copper, or a Nickel-Copper alloy, the method improves the base coating toughness, anticorrosion, and antifouling properties for high load application in sea water and brackish water environments. Additionally, a Cobalt-free material lowers material costs and reduces the global demand of Cobalt. Providing a topcoat of a Silicon-doped DLC significantly reduces the topcoat brittleness of common DLC failures such as “egg shell” in high stress applications. Thus, high hardness, low friction applications may be tailored in high stress applications.
