Adhesion of ice to surfaces creates problems for many industries, including aviation, hydropower, telecommunications, navigation, electrical distribution, and all forms of transportation. At present, ice removal techniques are both costly and time-consuming. In an effort to reduce the cost, time, and physical labor associated with ice removal, much research on ice adhesion has been done. Of the three methods--electrical, chemical, and mechanical, the search for a low adhesive coating or material has by far received the most attention of any method pursued for lowering ice's adhesive strength. The adhesive strength of the Q235 steel sheets with coatings of different content PTFE to ice were measured by self-designed and manufactured experiment apparatus.The results show that the Q235 steel sheet with PTFE particle coating has lower adhesive strengths than that without coating at any temperatures. The hydrophobic PTFE particle content has an important effect on adhesive value at freezing condition, and among the coatings with PTFE mass fraction of 30%,60%,80%,and 90%,the one with 60% mass fraction shows minimum adhesion.Air entrapment into ice to substrate interface and cohesive failure of the substrate coating produce major reduction in ice adhesion.The two main factors affecting the ice adhesion freezing strength are substrate material chemical property and surface microstructure or morphology.
