coatings are prepared by both flame spraying and plasma spraying. Annealing treatment of the LSCO coatings is performed at 1 000 ℃ for 3 hours. Oxygen contents of different samples are investigated by iodine titration. The effects of spray condition and annealing treatment on the oxygen content of the La

t in the starting powder owing to heating to a high temperature of spray particles by high temperature flame. The escaped oxygen of plasma-sprayed La

is more than that of flame-sprayed one. The oxygen content significantly increases after annealing treatment. It is clear that the deficit oxygen can be recovered through annealing treatment. The lattice distortion occurs in the thermally sprayed coatings due to large concentration of oxygen vacancies
which induces tetragonal phase formation. It is also found that recovery of oxygen through annealing treatment leads to a recovery phase transformation from tetragonal phase to perovskite cubic phase.
