What Are Er and Mr Fluids

Magnetorheological (MR) and electrorheological (ER) fluids belong to a family of controllable fluids, in which the flow can be controlled through the application of an electric or magnetic field. … Also a new way of using MR fluids, in which the fluid is contained in an absorbent matrix has been developed.

WHAT IS MR fluid used for?

Magneto rheological (MR) fluid technology has been proven for many industrial applications like shock absorbers, actuators, etc. MR fluid is a smart material whose rheological characteristics change rapidly and can be controlled easily in presence of an applied magnetic field.

How do you make MR fluid?

The MR fluids basically consist of carrier oil, a binder and the magnetizable particles. The carrier fluid is mixed with the binder along with the iron particles and stirred for long intervals, for proper dispersion and uniform concentration.
