Characteristics of an MRF depend on the volume faction, that is the percentage of magnetic particles in the carrier liquid. We propose a qualitative investigation of these volume fraction effects by measuring properties of ultrasonic wave propagation velocity in MRFs having various volume fractions. The ultrasonic wave propagation velocity changes under the effect of an external magnetic field as a result of arrangement of clusters along the direction of the field in the MRF.

The ultrasonic wave propagation velocity changes under the effect of an external magnetic field as a result of formation of clusters arranged along the direction of the field in the MR fluids. Therefore, we propose a qualitative analysis of these clustering structures by measuring properties of ultrasonic propagation. Since the MR fluids are opaque, the non-contact inspection using this ultrasonic technique can be very useful. In this study, we measured ultrasonic propagation velocity in MR fluid influenced by an external magnetic field for different swept rate precisely. With increasing magnetic field intensity, the changes of the ultrasonic wave velocity are more pronounced. Sedimentation effect takes place in certain time for different swept rate due to magnetic particle size and it follows linear relationship in log scale. Significant differences of the ultrasonic wave velocity are established between the case when the field is swept at a constant rate and the case when it is stepped up.► Structure of MR fluids depends on strength of magnetic field and on the mode of its application. ► Ultrasonic propagation velocity in MR fluids is changed under the effect of magnetic field. ► Qualitative analysis by measuring properties of ultrasonic propagation is proposed. ► Ultrasonic propagation velocity in MR fluid for different magnetic field swept rate is observed.

We propose a qualitative analysis of these structures by measuring properties of ultrasonic propagation. Since magnetic and MR fluids are opaque, the non-contact inspection using this ultrasonic technique can be very useful for analyzing the inner structures of magnetic and MR fluids. We measured ultrasonic propagation velocity in a hydrocarbon-based magnetic fluid and MR fluid precisely. Based on these results, the clustering structures of these fluids were analyzed experimentally in terms of elapsed time dependence, effect of external magnetic field strength and angle, and hysteresis phenomena. A comparison of ultrasonic velocity propagation between magnetic and MR fluid was discussed.
