Abstract:  
Creating and solving a saturation curve manually can be quite frustrating when you’re first introduced to saturation curves and the 10% rule. Most people are delighted when they learn there are programs that do the plotting, drawing and math for them. They’re even happier when they learn a program is available free of charge from Electronics Inc. Dr. David Kirk introduced his computer-based Almen saturation curve analysis program in a 2006 issue of this magazine. It has been the most widely used program of its kind over the last decade and it is a testament to Dr. Kirk’s knowledge of the shot peening process and to his talent with Microsoft’s Excel program. (The program is available as a free download at www.shotpeener.com.)
