The influence of magnetic field intensity and temperature on acustic and magnetic proprieties
was considered. Measurements were conducted at an ultrasonic wave frequency of
3.6 MHz, by a pulse method using the MATEC apparatus. The direction of ultrasonic wave
propagation was parallel to the direction of the external magnetic field. The magnetic field
range was 10–150 kA/m. The studies were performed for a selected temperatures. The results
of this experiments suggested that in magnetic fluids there are different effects connect with
restructuring this fluids.
Keywords: magnetic fluid, ultrasonic absorption, magnetization.
