    Abstract: A material feeding apparatus is disclosed. An apparatus for removing a surface oxide of a metal material and feeding the metal material to a melting furnace, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, includes: a housing including a material dropping chamber for feeding and discharging the metal material and a material etching chamber for performing a plasma etching process; and a pretreatment casing configured to reciprocate between the material dropping chamber and the material etching chamber in the housing, wherein the pretreatment casing receives the metal material from the material dropping chamber to store the metal material, moves to the material etching chamber to plasma-etch a surface oxide layer of the stored metal material, and then returns to the material dropping chamber to drop the etched metal material into the melting furnace.
