I have a question about peening intensity. Assume I have a process for which I have made a saturation curve and demonstrated that the saturation intensity is 10A. Is any point on this curve at 10A intensity? In other words, is it then only coverage that determines where I actually land on this curve for my actual process, and I can actually be at ½ the saturation cycle time but still at the same intensity? Or do I actually have to peen for a cycle time greater than the saturation point in order for the process to be at 10A? I hope this question is clear...
