The de-icing/antiicing system in an aircraft is usually designed to prevent severe ice accumulation on the critical surfaces during flight under an icing environment. Characterizing ice adhesion is critical for effective design of such a system. An experimental apparatus for measuring ice adhesion is developed, and the effects of different factors on ice adhesion are studied through experiments. The ice freezing conditions, material properties, and surface roughness are the main factors for icing adhesion strength. Aluminum and copper with different roughness are used in the present study. A nonlinear and nonmonotonic relationship between the surface roughness and freezing adhesion strength is discovered. The effect of ice freezing temperature on the icing adhesion strength is also studied by experiments.
