Under the magnetic field, the shear stress and apparent viscosity of Magneto Rheological Fluid (MRF) increase significantly. The shear stress ranges from 1.08 kPa to 12 kPa, and the apparent viscosity ranges from 2.5 Pa•s to 28.7 kPa•s. When the magnetic field is constant, the shear stress increases and tends to stabilize with the increase of shear rate, and there exists shear thinning phenomenon. The shear yield stress calculated by Bingham and Casson models is 1043Pa ~ 8825Pa. With the increase of magnetic field, the shear stress of MRF increases remarkably, ranging from 200 Pa to 11 kPa.
