1. A durable magnetorheological fluid comprising:
- a. a magnetizable particle component consisting of mechanically hard magnetizable particles having a hardness greater than B50 on the Rockwell scale and a particle size less than about 10 microns that is selected from the group consisting of unreduced carbonyl iron particles, cobalt iron alloy particles, and mixtures thereof;
b. a carrier fluid consisting essentially of polyalphaolefin and a plasticizer;
c. untreated fumed silica; and
d. an ethoxylated amine.
