Saturation Curve Solver Program
Tired of manually graphing the Almen strip arc heights and guessing at the value for intensity? This class is for you. Learn how to use Curve Solver.

Curve Solver is a computer program based upon MicroSoft Excel spreadsheet using the "Solver" add-in. Input your arc height data and times and the program generates a graph that you can print and it also gives you the value of "intensity". This program was developed by Dr. David Kirk, former chairman of the International Scientific Committee on Shot Peening and it is available for FREE download from our web site.
