Hi,

I have to design an almen fixture to verify the intensity of shot peening an hole of 1.25" ID (rotary lance peening). The hole is 0.600" deep (open end). My current idea is to position the strip with it's 3" dimension aligned with the axis of the hole, but in this position I'll end up with approximately 1.2" of strip on each side of he hole not being shot peened. Do you have any recommendations?

Thanks!
