Abstract:  
PRODUCT NEWS: PROCESS CONTROL & OPERATOR INTERFACE Shot Peening has been around for over 75 years and for the most part, the way the process is characterized and controlled has remained unchanged since the beginning. While closed loop devices have been developed to control key input variables, until recently the only way to measure the key output variable of intensity was with the Almen strip.
