Short answer, Yes.
The most important thing to understand is that the time it takes to peen the actual part has absolutely nothing to do with the 10% rule, saturation curves, almen strips, etc...
None of that can tell you how long to peen your parts. You must determine part peening time via examination of the parts at various time intervals. Too little time = you're not getting complete coverage. Too much time = higher than needed labor cost per part and unnecessary wear on your media and machine.
Remember that intensity can change with any machine parameter adjustment, including flow rate. So, be sure to check intensity only after parameters are set, and stick with them.
BTW, welcome to the forum.
