Abstract:  
Borrowing technology from the shot peening industry, the blast cleaning of parts (casting, forgings, etc.) is deriving benefits from the Almen test strip. Historically, the cleaning process has differed from "If it's not broke, don't fix it!" type of attitude. Quality Control consisted of subjective observation of the appearance of cleaned parts.
