Title: Method and system for polishing materials using a nonaqueous magnetorheological fluid

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1157576

A nonaqueous magnetorheological fluid includes a primarily organic carrier liquid and magnetizable particles. The magnetorheological fluid also includes a buffer, a stabilizer, and water. A pH of the magnetorheological fluid is between 6.5 and 9.0.
