Abstract

A magnetorheological material containing a carrier fluid and an iron alloy particle component. The particle component can be either an iron-cobalt alloy or an iron-nickel alloy. The iron-cobalt alloy has an iron:cobalt ratio ranging from about 30:70 to 95:5 while the iron-nickel alloy has an iron:nickel ratio ranging from about 90:10 to 99:1. The iron alloy particle components are capable of imparting high yield stress capability to magnetorheological materials.
