Walter,
I agree with you. In fact, there are several other items that need to be addressed, probably at the SAE level. I'll be soliciting input on changes to J442, J443, AMS-S-13165 and AMS 2430 and AMS 2432. I'll start the discussion first at our web site and them move them on to AMEC and the Surface Enhancement Division of SAE Fatigue Design and Evaluation Committee.
We have had numerous calls in the past month regarding "shot peeing audits" and it is clear that the specs need attention.
