2008 12 05 nbsp 0183 32 The torque specs might be the same from fine thread to coarse threads but that will be due to different thread lubrications and or different bolt stud material If putting in studs follow the manufacturer s specs for that stud with their specified lube Also some people find that the ARP recommended torque with their lube produces less desirable results than using their
Bolts with coarse threads have a larger pitch fewer threads per axial distance compared to fine threads A coarse threaded bolt is specified for most applications unless there is an overriding reason to use a fine threaded bolt e g thorough thread adjustment is crucial for the application Furthermore fine thread fasteners are more difficult to obtain Negative sides of

Fine threads have more threads per inch so this will give you more gripping area in a smaller length For example a 1 4″ bolt comes in 1 4″ 20 which is coarse thread – and has 20 threads per inch Whereas a 1 4″ 28 finely threaded bolt has 28 threads per inch A finely threaded bolt will allow you more threads on a shorter bolt
Resistance A coarse thread is longer than a corresponding fine thread This means there is more material present between threaded flanks This helps the thread to attain a perfect fit and avoid stripping and cross threading Overall this leads to safe and secure engagement over fine threads Plating Buildup Coarse threads are less affected
2012 03 05 nbsp 0183 32 4 Fine threads can be more easily tapped into hard materials and thin walled tubes 5 Fine threads require less torque to develop equivalent bolt preloads On the negative side 1 Fine threads are more susceptible to galling than coarse threads 2 They need longer thread engagements and are more prone to damage and thread fouling
2019 10 04 nbsp 0183 32 Coarse threaded fasteners are also more difficult to strip or cross thread because of the wider thread style allowing for more material between the threads Fine threaded fasteners are a much better choice when specific measurements are required Fine threads feature a higher tensile strength making them ideal for strength applications
2018 03 30 nbsp 0183 32 Coarse threads have become the standard for most fastener applications but when should fine threads be considered Fine Thread Strengths Fine threads are technically stronger under static loading because they have a larger minor diameter which translates into a larger cross sectional area A s
2020 04 17 nbsp 0183 32 Fine vs Coarse Thread All fasteners are available with either coarse or fine threads Finely threaded bolts have larger stress areas than coarse bolts of the same diameter so if you are limited on the bolt size due to dimensional constraints choose a fine thread for greater strength
Information and online shopping for grade 8 nuts bolts and assortments in fine and coarse thread A grade 8 bolt is stronger than the more commonly used grade 5 It is made of alloy steel and has six radial lines on the top of the bolt head Grade 8 Bolts Information and Online Shopping Hex Head Cap Screws Grade 8 Coarse Hex Head Cap Screws Grade 8 Fine
It may be the case that an 8mm bolt only comes in those two thread pitches thus the temptation to use the SAE terms quot coarse quot and quot fine quot However that is not always the case with other sizes For example 10mm bolts are commonly available in 1 0 1 25 and 1 5 thread pitches Whereas almost all 10mm bolts used on German made vehicles are of the 1 5 variety on a Japanese
2018 03 19 nbsp 0183 32 Coarse threading is also much less likely to gall then fine threading Fine threading requires many more turns per inch which generates more friction Excess friction dramatically increases the chance of galling in fasteners Regardless we recommend using an anti seize solution especially on stainless steel fasteners
2020 06 26 nbsp 0183 32 People also ask what is the difference between coarse and fine thread bolts A Coarse threads have larger pitch fewer threads per axial distance compared to fine threads Fine threads are more susceptible to galling than coarse threads They need longer thread engagements and are more prone to damage and thread fouling Also Know is SAE coarse
2020 04 10 nbsp 0183 32 Good for situations where the fastener is used for fine adjustments adjustment screws After reading the table you have probably come to the conclusion that fine threads are better than coarse I will concede that they have some very notable benefits That said my personal opinions on fine or coarse threads are as follows Manufacturers should use coarse
2012 07 25 nbsp 0183 32 As a general rule when a bolt goe into some thing it is coarse tread And when 2 pieces are bolted together it is fine Now if you want to change all off your bolts you better not sell the truck because the next guy will have a problem off knowing whether it is coarse or fine Willy Jul 25 2012 6 frodobaggins Active member 2 861 15 38 Location

2012 07 25 nbsp 0183 32 Fine threads are used because the root diameter the part without threads inside where it is threaded is larger on bolts of the same outer diameter while the bearing surface the part where the threads touch remains the same as coarse threads For the same metal characteristics that results in a stronger bolt For example a 1 2 inch grade 8 coarse thread
2018 06 22 nbsp 0183 32 Fine thread bolts are less tendency to loosen and have a higher tensile strength than their coarse brothers Lowes or the home depot will have fine thread if that s your choice I would specify USA made bolts to heck with the Chineseum bolts I don t think brittleness will be an issue On a restore I ll use original bolts
