Abstract:  
An investigation was conducted to compare two different sources of Almen strips. A direct pressure air blast machine with a single nozzle aimed at a rotating table with 12 stations for Almen strips was used. The machine parameters were set to achieve a nominal intensity of 8A. Fifty strips of each type were measured and the data is shown in the histogram of Figure 1.
