This SAE Recommended Practice defines a procedure for the use of computer generated saturation curves to determine peening intensity. Calculation of intensity within a tolerance band for each data set in Table 1 one is required for compliance with this practice.
Rationale
The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide an objective method of determining the intensity of peening from a saturation curve. SAE J443 provides instructions for use of the test strip and a review of that document illustrates the need for a standardized procedure.
Procedures for determining intensity have evolved slowly – as illustrated by the following summary: SAE J443 January 1952, Procedures for Using Standard Shot-Peening Test Strip states: “The gage reading corresponding with the point A where the curve flattens out is generally taken as the measurement of the intensity of that particular peening. In some cases, this point is difficult to pick out and requires some judgment.” This same description appears in the June 1961 edition of SAE J443. SAE J443 January 1984 states the following: “Saturation has been attained when the “knee” of the curve is passed and increasingly longer periods of peening time are required for a measurable increase in test strip arc height. The location of the knee, point A shown in Figure 1, can be defined as that point on the curve beyond which the arc height does not increase more than “X” percent when the peening time is doubled. An arc height increase of 20% for doubled peening time may be adequate for some applications. An increase of 10% for doubled peening time defines the knee for critical applications. A smaller percentage increase than 10% requires longer peening time to reach this “knee” in the curve.” The practice of determining the 10% increase was left to the artisan and they often referred to arc heights at double the exposure times until “10% or less” was discovered without focusing on the curve.
The universal availability of computers and curve-fitting capabilities now provides the mechanism for introducing an objective, unambiguous, procedure for intensity determination. Using a computer algorithm to draw a “best fit curve” and to derive a specified “intensity” will give substantial improvements in terms of process control accuracy and repeatability.
The Surface Enhancement Committee is primarily engaged in standard practices for shot peening and similar metal treatments to abate fatigue failure. The committee webpage is meant to be a repository for Surface Enhancement Committee on-going work and news. It is meant mainly for active committee members quick reference, but all others are also welcome to look and comment (you are welcome to attend meetings also). The materials presented here are NOT SAE official documents, and are only meant as working documents, with the usual working document errors. The material should not be used for any other purposes except Surface Enhancement Committee work. Participants in the SAE Surface Enhancement Committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government and other interested parties.

listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
