Hello,
During my time at Boeing I recall that there was some issue with how a fastener was installed relative to the grain (say of a machined AL part). That is, installing a fastener in the ST vs. LT vs. L directions. I can't remember if this was a strength issue or fatigue issue. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks...
