Abstract:  
Dr. Kirk’s “Verification of Peening Intensity” Peening machine parameters are established by experimental settings of machine variables and submitting Almen test strips to the blast stream for increasingly longer exposure times and graphical analysis of the arc heights. Using the 10% rule (developed by SAE in 1984), the machine peening intensity could be declared. Once the machine is placed into production, a procedure is needed to verify its consistency.
