In this article the work results on the creation at the Department of Electrotechnology and Converter Engineering in ETU “LETI” of a high-frequency induction plasma research installation designed for high-temperature plasma treatment of powder oxide and other materials in order to obtain melted spheres and different dispersion and structure powders, as well as high-temperature plasma surface treatment to give them special properties are presented. The device has already started operation and is currently producing various oxide materials. The operation characteristics of the HFI-plasma torch and the processed materials during powders spheroidization of quartz sand, electro corundum, phosphate glass and melted stabilized zirconium dioxide are obtained.
