Abstract
A carbon coated metal powder depositable by thermal spray techniques to form a metal coating is disclosed. The carbon coated metal powder has a composition comprising a metal powder and carbon adhered to the metal powder. The metal powder is coated with carbon to form a carbon coated metal powder. The carbon coated metal powder, after being thermally sprayed on to a substrate and after being formed into a metal coating on the substrate, has an oxygen content at least 20% by weight less than the oxygen content in the carbon coated metal powder prior to being thermally sprayed.
