text: Many materials are able to be sprayed as coatings using the D-gun. These materials used for the feedstock are powders of metals, alloys and cermets; as well as their oxides. However, mainly high-tech coatings are used, these include ceramics, and complex composites. Characteristics such as strength, hardness, shrink, corrosion resistance and wearing quality of possible spraying materials are factored into the decision of selecting a coating material.
  Some examples include:
  * Al2O3
  * Cu–Al
  * Cu–SiC 
  * Al–Al2O3 
  * Cu–Al2O3 
  * Al–SiC
  * Al–Ti
  * TiMo(CN)–36NiCo
  * Fe–A
