Abstract:
Graphs Almen saturation curve and provides value of intensity
The introduction of the 10% rule in 1984 by the SAE was the first mathematical approach to determine intensity from the saturation curve. As I discussed in my article in the
winter Shot Peener, the 10% rule helped undo the confusion created by earlier SAE documentation regarding saturation, coverage and intensity. However, plotting a saturation
curve to meet the 10% rule is laborious and prone to inaccuracies. Thankfully, computer-based curve-fitting procedures are now almost universally available. They offer
several advantages over manual procedures including speed and objectivity.
