Hello everyone,
almen A should be use between 0.004 and 0.024 inches (approx 0.60 mm), and C for everything above, but what would be the max for it?
Is there any litterature/reference indicating a max for almen C? what is the max almen you ever measured?
We often talk about minimum almen (on drawing), but do you set max almen also? For peening soft material it would make sense, but for hard material (heat treated steel) would you care about it?
Is there a thumb rule for setting max intensity? Too much coverage/ time under shot would lead to overpeening/peening folds did too much intensity at 100% coverage could generate something with a similar look in metallographic cut?
have a nice day!!
