Abstract: A magnetorheological fluid formulation comprising magnetizable particles dispersed in a multi-component liquid vehicle comprising an organoclay stabilization mixture. At least one organoclay is selected for each liquid vehicle component, each organoclay having a surface chemistry that renders it preferentially compatible with the surface functionality of one of the liquid components relative to its compatibility to the remaining components whereby it is effective to stabilize, or gel, that component. A method of making an MR fluid is also provided in which liquid vehicle components are blended together, the organoclay mixture is added to the blend, and magnetizable particles are suspended therein, resulting in a stable MR fluid of suitable viscosity and yield stress.

Abstract: An MR fluid formulation comprising water-atomized iron powder dispersed in a liquid vehicle, wherein the atomized iron powder contributes to a higher magnetic effect, a lower viscosity and suitability for high temperature applications. The magnetizable particles are prepared by controlled water atomization and comprise iron having a passivating oxide surface layer. The passivating oxide surface layer advantageously comprises iron oxide and at least one alloying metal oxide, such as manganese oxide. Advantageously, the particles have a grain size of at least 4 nullm and a mean diameter in the range of about 8-25 nullm. The liquid vehicle advantageously comprises a mixture of at least two liquid components of different surface functionality and an organoclay stabilization mixture in which at least one organoclay is selected for each liquid vehicle component. Exemplary MR fluid formulations of the present invention utilize a high-viscosity, low volatility base fluid, water-atomized iron powder, multi-component organoclays and multi-component additives to achieve the desired viscosity and durability of a fully formulated MR fluid which will satisfy the requirements of second and third generation MR fluids.

Abstract: A magnetorheological fluid formulation exhibiting consistently high yield stress during use. The MR fluid comprises martensitic or ferritic stainless steel particles prepared by a controlled water or inert gas atomization process. The stainless steel particles are resistant to corrosion and oxidation, are generally smooth and spherical, and maintain their shape and size distribution throughout their use under an applied magnetic field.

Abstract: A temperature compensation method for controlling a damping force of a magnetorheological (MR) damper is disclosed. First, a base operating current as a function of a desired force level of a damping force of the MR damper is determined, and a temperature compensation as a function of an operating temperature of the MR damper is determined. Finally, the temperature compensation is applied to the base operating current to generate a compensated operating current as a function of the desired force level of the damping force and the operating temperature of the MR damper. To refine the compensated operating current, the temperature compensation can be determined as both a function of the operating temperature of the MR damper and a relative velocity of the MR damper.

Abstract: A magnetorheological fluid formulation in which the base liquid is optimized to exhibit an acceptable viscosity, a low volatility, improved low temperature flow properties, and an improved elastomeric compatibility. The fluid formulation includes a base liquid containing a mixture of 1-dodecene polyalphaolefin and a diester, such as dioctyl sebacate. The diester is added to the mixture in an amount effective to produce seal swelling and to lower the pour point. The viscosity of the fluid formulation is suitable for diverse vibration damping applications that require a vibration damping device to operate in the temperature range of about null40null C. to about 100null C. The low volatility and seal swelling properties of the fluid formulation reduce, inhibit or eliminate fluid loss about the seals of the vibration damping device.
