  • Method of hardening a fluid mass
    Publication number: 20050006020
    Abstract: A method of hardening a fluid mass in contact with a wall, in a desirable shape. According to the invention, the fluid mass is a magneto-rheological fluid mixture that in addition to at least one hardening component comprises a particulate magnetic component, with minimally 80% of said particles having a particle size of at least 0.0005 mm, and a magnetic field is applied for a length of time that suffices to achieve the desired strength by hardening in the absence of a magnetic field.
