How consistent is LORD MR fluid performance over time?
A. Depending on the conditions of the specific application, all MR fluids will eventually show some degree of deterioration. Such deterioration is usually manifested as a thickening of the fluid often referred to as “in-use-thickening” or IUT. We have spent a considerable effort in the mid-1990’s solving this problem so that today’s applications such as Delphi MagneRide shocks using LORD MR fluid show consistent performance over the life of the damper.
