A Hot-wire Engine to Produce Periodic Grooves on an Ice Surface

Abstract A strain-tree grooving method has been developed for surface self-diffusion studies of ice. This method utilizes a hot-wire grooving engine and is capable of obtaining a uniform spacing between grooves ranging from 15.9 μ m to 159 μ m in increments of 15.9 μ m.
