Abstract

In modern metal applications, the demand for anti-icing treatments of metal products is increasing, and the demand for anti-icing of metal is gradually increasing in aerospace, shipbuilding, cable, and other industries. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the preparation of anti-icing surfaces on metals. Firstly, the preparation method of anti-icing on metal surfaces is introduced. Then, the application fields of anti-icing on metal surfaces are reviewed, and the methods to improve metal surface anti-icing are summarized. Finally, some problems existing in current research on the anti-icing of metals are pointed out, and the development direction and trend of anti-icing research on permanent metal surfaces in the future are discussed.
