  -> Thank you, William. There doesn't seem to me to be anything in the context that suggests "in(to)" or "on(to)".

part is screwed in/through a boss to a set torque

Cracking and boss failure were common problems for an audio components manufacturer who tried to seat sheet metal screws in plastic bosses. Textron Fastening Systems applications specialists reviewed the application and determined that a Plastite® fastener would fit in the current boss design. The Plastite fastener generates less radial stress in the application than the sheet metal screw, so boss damage is minimized, increasing product reliability.


The assembly forces acting normally on the inclined surface of the thread can be resolved into two components. The small thread angle of [the pt screw] decreases the radial component thus reducing expansion of the boss - allowing smaller pilot holes and smaller boss diameters. The increase in axial component creates more load carrying capacity, reducing the penetration depth/boss height, required for the same clamping load

agree  Tony M: Yes, I think this reads most naturally to my ears; though as the first reference suggests, if it is indeed this kind of 'boss', then 'into' might be better than 'onto'
