Abstract
The feasibility of ceramic fiber orientation under a high magnetic field is explored. The study is carried out for short fibers exhibiting a very low diamagnetic susceptibility. Equations to calculate the torque applied to th e fibers and the time required for their orientation in a viscous fluid are presented. A video controlled rotating cell device permits, in magnetic fi elds up to 7 teslas, to measure the experimental orientation times and to c ompare them with the calculated ones.
