For metal material processing using induction thermal plasma (ICTP), admixture of metal vapor to the ICTP greatly changes plasma properties. Thus, estimation of spatial distribution of metal vapor admixture ratio is essential to investigate changing in plasma properties during processing. This report describes investigation results for spatial distribution of temperature and Ti vapor admixture ratio during Ti feedstock feeding into the Ar ICTP torch. Furthermore, spatial distributions of Ti atom and electron densities were also determined.
