As Europe’s leading blast and ultrasonic test centre, Guyson specialises in process qualification, tailored recommendations and expert operator training. One of Guyson’s key process qualifications include the universally accepted Almen strip testing, carried out to support and verify customer shot peening applications.

Shot peening is a critical finishing process, used in demanding industries such as the aerospace industry, for improving fatigue resistance of metal components, by creating a layer of compressive stress on their surface. Almen strip testing is used to measure the intensity of this process, by capturing how much energy the shot stream delivers which directly relates to the stress applied.

Therefore, Almen strip testing is a fundamental element for taking a concept through to a data-backed, precision-built system, designed to process stress-critical components with confidence.

Watch the full video below, to understand why Almen strip testing matters and the method behind it - with step-by-step instructions.
