Abstract:
Repeatability of Almen strip arc height measurements has been determined for both A and N strips. Repeatability estimates are based on exposing multiple strips under
constant peening conditions. The effects of media, fixture orientation and type of machine on arc height variation have also been investigated. This paper discusses the
amount of almen strip variability observed and its implications for defining the saturation point; and, ofers a recommendation for peening intensity limits based on process
capability.
