Abstract

Abstract Magnetorheological (MR) finishing fluids are the backbone of MR finishing technology. The rheological behavior of MR finishing fluid helps to attain required abrading force during a finishing operation. The rheological properties of MR finishing fluid changes with the applied magnetic field strength as well as with the fluid composition. Magnetizable iron particles, non-magnetic abrasive particles and non-magnetic carrier liquid are the main constituents of MR finishing fluid sample. The selection of a carrier liquid is equally important along with other constituents of MR finishing fluid. In the present work, coconut oil, as an eco-friendly carrier liquid, was selected for the preparation of MR finishing fluid. The performance of the developed sample in terms of rheological properties was tested under different magnetic field strengths. The structure of the prepared sample exhibits more strength at the higher magnetic field strengths.
