Abstract
It is known that the friction of ice is the smallest on the basal plane (00 01) in low velocity. This property was applied to the control of ice at rea l speed skating rink. A lot of single crystal of basal planes, 0.6 million sheet, cut from ice-stalagmite were pasted on the rink of "M-wave". Frictio n was determined from the sliding distance which ejected at speed of 1 m/s. This new ring showed 16% decrease compared to the normal one in friction. Replica of friction track which was marked by player and collected by gypsu m showed the groove and bank. Ice has high hardness and very low shear stre ngth. Obtained results were explained by an adhesion theory. Self-consisten ce of the frictional melting theory for low friction was also pointed out. In the corner of rink, effective use of bank was also suggested for high sp eed rink.
