When he tested hardness he discovered it was registering in the 56-57 range. Will the aluminum parts get a different peening treatment with the harder material if the customer adjusts his machine and runs saturation curves to maintain the required intensity? ams-2431 /3 hardness is 45-52 ams 2431 /8 hardness is 55-65 Does anyone have any experience with this topic?
