Japanese Manufacturing Engineers Tend to Be Extremely Passionate

I work in the screw industry, so I specialize in mechanical components.

Last year, I was invited to write an article about screws for Transistor Technology, a long-established magazine widely read by Japanese electrical engineers.

Transistor Technology was first published in 1964 and has a long history as a technical magazine.

My article covered topics such as

・ how to select the optimal screw

・iron or stainless steel screws have higher strength

・ how to choose tapping screws

・ how to select the right screw head type, and the differences between Phillips, hex socket, and Torx drives.

I want to continue helping Japanese engineers who are deeply committed to selecting the perfect screw.

I also hope to meet engineers from outside Japan as well.
