Coarse Threads:

 Coarse threads are commonly used where rapid assembly or disassembly is

required.
 If corrosion or damage from handling or use is likely.
 They allow for easier starting with less cross threading.
 In relatively low strength materials such as cast iron, aluminium,
magnesium, brass, bronze, and plastic, coarse threads provide more
resistance to stripping than fine or extra fine threads.
 If subjected to heat, they are less likely to seize than fine threads.

Fine Threads:

 Fine threads are commonly used for nuts and bolts in high strength
applications.
 While applications vary, in general, fine threads are approximately 10%
stronger than coarse threads.
 They have less of a tendency to loosen under vibration because the smaller
lead or thread helix angle provides better wedging action when the assembly
is tightened.
 Fine threads are also used for fine adjustment and thin walled applications
due to the shallower thread height.
 Fine threads are generally easier to tap. Since the thread height is shallower,
the chip load per tooth and chip volume is lower, resulting in less tapping
torque and breakage, particularly in difficult to machine materials.
 Less chip volume also means that more lubrication will reach the cutting
teeth resulting in longer tap life.
 Fine threads require larger tap drill than for coarse threads, which improves
the performance of the drill and tap
