Extract

This article focuses on the synthesis and processing of novel magnetorheological (MR) fluids. The process for preparing MR fluids typically involves introducing magnetic particles into base liquid under low shear conditions. This is followed by ball milling in the fluid with zirconia (ZrO2) grinding media for about 24 h. High-purity carbonyi iron (Fe) powders have been used for the synthesis of ironbased MR fluids while the ferrite-based MR fluids used magnetic manganesezinc ferrite and nickel-zinc ferrite powders.

Typical volume fractions of the magnetic phase that lead to MR fluids with respectable yield stresses tend to be about 0.3–0.5. Higher volume fractions, in principle, can lead to higher strength MR fluids. However, higher volume fractions tend to cause a significant, and often undesirable, increase in the “off-state” viscosity of the MR fluids. The rationale for selection and the role of different components of MR fluids are briefly discussed in the following sections.
