A method includes feeding at least one ceramic feedstock into a heating zone of a thermal spray apparatus to form a heated ceramic feedstock. The heated ceramic feedstock is entrained in a plasma gas to form a heated gas stream directed toward a target surface of a CMC substrate. A sacrificial composition is fed with a sacrificial composition feed apparatus into the heated gas stream downstream of the heating zone at a selected injection angle α of about −30° to about +30° with respect to a plane of the target surface of the substrate. The heated ceramic feedstock is deposited from the heated gas stream onto the target surface to form a coating thereon. The thermal spray apparatus and the sacrificial composition feed system are configured to independently control a chemistry and a porosity of the coating.
