For over 20 years, The Shot Peener has been dedicated to raising the awareness and appreciation for the shot peening and abrasive blast cleaning industries. Providing continuing education on industry trends, technology, environmental issues, applications and processes is what we strive for in every issue. The dissemination of free information in The Shot Peener and at our web site (www.shotpeener.com1 has been the vehicle that has helped drive the growth of understanding of shot peening and blast cleaning processes. The Shot Peener isn't the only free resource available to you. To date, over 600 copies of the Almen Strip Saturation Curve Solver Program have been downloaded at no charge from our web site. The program was developed and is continuously refined by Dr. David Kirk. In a conversation with Dr. Kirk, I asked him why he did not charge for the program and he said it was an "educational tool" that will help people further their understanding of intensity and saturation.
