Manufacturing Engineers, what is your relationship like with the fitters/operators on the shop floor?

Question about over torquing bolts.

I work in an assembly plant. We are torquing a 10-24, 18-8 stainless steel bolt to 72 inlb. I know this is a huge torque value, all tables recommend 22.8 inlb. This value was put in place by a previous engineer due to the bolts coming out at recommended torque values. They pass extensive testing at ...

How does one go about determining deformation caused by welding?

Concrete joints

Does anyone else see a lot of expansion joints out there in cases where they do not seem to make sense?
