Hi,
I have an idea how to measure capability in a machine for shot peening. I would like to shot minimum 50 Almen strips and then measure the variation in arc height.
1. The question is what tolerance to set on the variation. Is 0.2mm (0.007874") a normal value?
2. What value on capability is recommended to set on a new machine? I think >2 is what we at least need to set as a minimum to get a stable process. What do you think?
