Almen Strips
Estimate Compressed Layer Depth by Using Almen Peening Intensity
Almen peening intensity can be used as an acceptable guide to the depth of the compressed surface layer.

Lessons In Intensity and Coverage
Jack Champaigne explains why intensity isn’t dependent on exposure time.

So You Think Almen Strip Coverage is Important?
Learn why the Almen strip is generally not fully covered at saturation.

Understanding the Peening Time Paradox
The Key to Uncoupling Intensity and Coverage

Coverage
Are You Peening Too Much?
Dr. John Cammett argues that coverage represents the greatest opportunity for improving the peening process.

Quantification of Shot Peening Coverage
A suggested identifying parameter for a shot stream’s ability to achieve required coverage levels is described in detail in Dr. David Kirk’s article.

MagnaValves
Amperage Control
Control it and you will reduce machine wear damage and lower media and energy costs

Benefits of a Closed-Loop System
A review of closed- and open-loop systems for wheel-blast machines

Blastmaster Case Study
MagnaValve reduces maintenance for Australian automotive foundry

Energy and Cost Savings

MagnaValve Installation
Abrasive Blast Machine Retrofit: A step-by-step MagnaValve installation at blast cleaning facility

MagnaValve Timet Pangborn Case Study
A Partnership Improves a Process: MagnaValves eliminate downtime on abrasive blast machine in titanium strip production facility.

Recipro-Blast Case Study
MagnaValves crucial to new blast cleaning process for foundries

Wear and Its Reduction
Shot peeners are beset with wear problems. Dr. Kirk’s article uses impacting shot and the blast wheel to illustrate the types of wear mechanisms most commonly encountered.
