Size for size, a fine thread is stronger than a coarse thread. This is both in tension (because of the larger stress area) and shear (because of their larger minor diameter). Because of the smaller pitch, they allow finer adjustments in applications that need such a feature.
Coarse threads are more durable and have greater resistance to stripping and cross-threading. The height of each thread is greater than the corresponding fine thread so there is more material between each thread making flank engagement greater.
For example, an M10x1. 5 (coarse) thread has a 1.5mm pitch, while an M10x1. 25 (fine) thread has a 1.25mm pitch. To simplify metric thread callouts, the international (ISO) standard for metric threads eliminates the pitch callout on coarse threads.
To determine which of these is coarse thread and which is fine, simply take the TPI number (the 20 and the 28) and compare. Remember a coarse thread means the threads are bigger so less will be able to fit within an inch so the 20 means the fastener is coarse thread and the 28 means the fastener is a fine thread.
Pros of Coarse Threads:
Greater resistance to stripping and cross-threading. Faster installation than fine threaded fasteners, partially because they aren't prone to seizing during tightening. This can result in significant time and money savings in high volume assembly applications.

Kevlar® thread is one of the strongest and most fire retardant commercially available threads. It is about 2.5 times stronger than nylon or polyester, has almost no stretch, does not melt, and decomposes at 800°F.
How many threads do I really need? Minimally 3 fully engaged threads. Look at a nut. However, for optimum thread engagement, a common rule of thumb is 1 1/2 times the diameter of the screw.
While coarse threading fasteners are better suited for general purpose applications, fine thread applications tend to have many benefits that make them the ideal choice when specifics matter. Fine threading has a higher tensile strength than coarse threading and it can be measured more accurately.
The thread size and thread pitch of a lug nut, lug bolt, or wheel lock will determine whether or not the lug will screw on to your wheel stud.
Metric threads are designated with a capital M plus an indication to their nominal outer diameter and their pitch: This bolt is M10 x 1.5 - which means the outside diameter is 10mm and the threads are 1.5mm apart (the most common thread pitch for M10).
Fine threading makes tapping a hole much easier due to its narrow, shallow ridges. Fine thread fasteners are perfect to use in applications where vibration is an issue, since the shallow pitch of the thread works to prevent loosening of the fastener under vibration over time.
Disadvantages of Coarse Thread Fasteners
One is that they can damage the material being fastened. The larger threads can create larger holes in the material, which weakens its structural integrity. Industries do not often use coarse thread fasteners and thus, making them hard to find and expensive.
Which of the following screw thread is stronger than other threads? Explanation: Buttress thread is stronger than other threads because of greater thickness at the base of the thread. The buttress thread has limited use for power transmission. It is employed as the thread for light jack screws and vices.
The prevailing consensus is that having more physical cores is preferable to having more threads. In comparison, a CPU with 8 cores and 8 threads would perform better than one with 2 cores and 8 threads. However, the more threads our CPU can manage, the better it will perform while multitasking.
Grade 8 is a medium carbon or alloy steel, and has one of the highest tensile strengths available, even higher than B7. It is also quenched and tempered at 800 F leading to its strength. The preload, or thread tension in a fastener is higher when the type of steel being used is grade 8 in quality.
Fine thread fasteners should be used in conjunction with thick gauge metal applications. Coarse thread fasteners should be used in conjunction with thin gauge metal applications. Coarse threads have a "clamping" function when used in thin gauge applications which increases pull out resistance.
Screw size doesn't necessarily determine screw strength. Finely threaded screws are actually much stronger.
What is the typical thread engagement percentage? Typical designs in engineering use a thread engagement of 75% and a length of engagement of 1.5 times the diameter of the screw.
Material: For most bag sewing applications, thread is offered in four materials listed here in decreasing strength: Nylon (strongest), polyester, polyester/cotton blend, and cotton (weakest).
12. User Level Threads are simple and quick to create. They perform better than kernel threads since they don't need to make system calls to create threads. In user-level threads, switching between threads does not need kernel mode privileges.
