 What are MR Fluids
When the magnetic field is applied the ferromagnetic particles that are present in the size of micrometer (1
– 20 micrometer) in the MR fluid realign them in columnar structures which are responsible for change in
the stress characteristics of the fluid; which then begins to behave differently, especially in terms of
viscosity and hence change in the rheological attributes! Such characteristics of MR fluids make them apt
for use in shock absorbers. Leading magnetorheological (MR) fluid manufacturer in India has been
offering its products in different compositions towards meeting diverse applications. The buyers of MR
fluid, on the other hand, are very particular about the composition characteristics of the MR fluid and they
are particularly inquisitive about the salient properties of MR fluids that are recommended for use in shock
absorbers. Here is an overview of the attributes that count as important in the selection of the MR fluids for
shock absorbers
 Properties of MR Fluid
It should be stated that the magnetorheological properties of the MR fluids are the
function of the composition and the applied magnetic field that is kept in the
variable range. In this context, the basic attributes relating size, shape, and
concentration of particles in the fluid are important! Experts at a leading
magnetorheological (MR) fluid manufacturer in India consider that for shock
absorber MR fluids, the concentration of the ferromagnetic particles should be
20%. Thus, with the application of variable magnetic field on such MR fluid, the
yielded stress curve would stretch to a max of 20k Pascal.
Apart from the concentration and nature of the ferromagnetic particles in the fluid column, other properties
of relevance include the following –

● The fluid viscosity of the MR fluid in the absence of the magnetic field
● Resistance against the process of gradual sedimentation of the ferromagnetic particles in fluid
column – this is very important for perfect functioning; MR fluid suppliers in India offer additives
as per the requirements of the customer’s applications.
● The stability of the MR fluid should be optimized in terms of oxidation resistance of the fluid
● The tribological characteristics of the MR fluid – for desirable performance
● The temperature range that is admissible by the MR fluid column
● An optimized variability range of the yielded stress through the application of varying magnetic
field on the MR fluid
