11	Almen Gage Practice and R&R Study - Staff - Electronics Inc . Wouldn't it be a shame to be doing an excellant job of shot peening or blast cleaning but not get credit for it? This can happen if your Almen gage practice consumes too much of your allowable peening intensity tolerance. You'll get a chance to practice using an old analog gage and new digital gage and compare the performance. Working in groups of three students each will measure ten Almen strips three times (total of 90 readings). The goal is to have as low of variation among readings as possible.
12	Almen Saturation Software (Almcom) - Steven Baiker - Baiker AG Wouldn't it be nice to have a computor program print the Almen saturation curve, give you the intensity value, and warn you of inconsistent data? Well, it's available and in use in Europe. You'll see how hand generated graphs are subject to wide variations depending upon the skill of the operator and then see how the computor program can provide "the answer" automatically.

28	Peening Intensity and Coverage - Peter Bailey - Electronics Inc We make dimples. They must be the right size and there must be enough of them to completely cover the surface. The intensity of the peening media stream determines the size of the dimple. Coverage, or the percentage of the surface dimpled, is controlled by time and media flow rate. Learn how to measure intensity with the Almen strip and estimate coverage with 10x or 30x magnification.
29	Peening Procedures, Prints and Specifications - Dale Lombardo - General Electric MIL-TP-41C applies in this session. (Make it like the print for once). You need to understand what the prints and procedures are asking for prior to peening a part. There are many times a conflict between a procedure and specification must be resolved. Different specifications have different requirements for the media, the Almen strips, the procedures, masking and post treatment. Learn how to ask the proper questions before you "waste a part".
30	Peening Theory - John Cammett - US Navy How does peening work? Pretty good. Oops, that not the complete answer. Why does the creation of a small dimple extend the fatique life of a component up to 10x or extend its load range by a factor of 40%. Find out how the "nasty" tensile stresses are displaced by the "friendly" compressive stresses and why this causes the great improvements.
