Once a saturation graph has been produced and say the result is 7.25A @ 2.36 passes/ rotations etc. What is the recommended practice when peening single Almen strips before and after the part is peened, as you cannot peen @ 2.36 rotations. Is it better to either increase the RPM so that the strip will do three complete passes, decrease the RPM so the strip passes twice or stay with the current settings and peen it at three passes which will give a slightly higher Almen reading than is for your actual saturation point?
