Helicoil in anything adds substantial surface area to the mechanical
surface of the threads, it's just math.

It's still not any stronger than the base metal, period.

There is more surface as the hole is bigger, period. The type of metal
or the thickness is irrelevant, more is more... period. I knew the
engineer wouldn't know ****, take the question to a technician tomorrow
at work and have him explain it to you, LOL!

I don't give a **** if the hole is bigger or not, dumb ass. Are you
REALLY saying that the "type of metal or the thickness is
irrelevant"????? If so you are a complete fool and shouldn't ever be
allowed near anything mechanical. The base metal properties have ALL to
do with the strength that any set of threads can hold. The fix is NOT
any stronger than the base metal. How could it possibly be? The base
metal is doing the holding...... Would you care for me to prove it to
you mathematically? I'll bet you'll pull a Harry and start the name
calling now.

The fix should be stronger than the original hole and threads. Base metal
strength has not changed, but the Helicoil will spread the force over a
larger area.

It blows me away how folks don't "see" this... It's so obvious. And yes
to the line draftsman up there a couple paragraphs... NO, the thickness
and composition of the metal has no bearing on this conversation, it is
a constant dumbass... unless you start drilling enough to effect other
structural components of the part... Like I said. Get up from your desk
and walk out into the shop. Find a decent technician, mechanic, or any
machinist and have them explain it to you... I love it when folks go
overboard defending something they are obviously way out of their paygrade
