Abstract
The three primary ingredients in a magnetorheological fluid are the magnetic carbonyl iron particles, the abrasive polishing powder, and the carrier fluid. Systematic variations in all three allow magnetorheological finishing to be successfully used in the production of precision optics from water soluble crystals, optical glasses, or extremely hard glass-ceramics.
