Ice adhesion test

Ice adhesion tests are used to test the ice adhesion of different surface materials.

This can be done by accreting ice on a sample, and then testing the adhesion in a centrifugal ice adhesion test device, or CAT.

In addition to centrifugal testing, ice adhesion can be tested with direct mechanical tests, or with a wide variety of miscellaneous testing methods, like vibration beam test or laser spallation.
