Mini-strips for Limited Access Peening Intensity Measurements

摘要

The Almen strip as described in SAE J442 is widely used for measurement of peening intensity. There are some applications, however, where the strip size is too large for the intended measurement area. A sub-size strip can be used in those applications. This paper will dscribe the procedures for affixing and measuring this strip and how to correlate the Mini-strip arc height readings to the standard size Almen strip.
