A part (32) intended for use with a threaded insert (42) includes a main body manufactured from fully dense material and a plurality of localized, higher porosity, lower strength regions (58) configured to accept a plurality of keys (44) from the threaded insert (42). A method of inserting a threaded insert (42) into a part (32) includes the steps of providing a part (32) with a main body manufactured from fully dense material and a plurality of localized, higher porosity, lower strength regions (58) configured to accept a plurality of keys (44) from the threaded insert (42); forming in the main body a threaded bore (34) configured to accept the threaded insert (42) in which a plurality of localized, higher porosity, lower strength regions (58) surround a periphery of the threaded bore (34); forming a countersink (36) in the threaded bore (34) such that the countersink (36) is adjacent to a top surface (40) of the part (32); and inserting the threaded insert (42) into the threaded bore (34) to position the threaded insert (10, 42) at or below the top surface (40) of the part (32). A plurality of keys (44) inserted into a plurality of dovetail slots (20) established in external threads (14) of the threaded insert (42) align with the plurality of localized, higher porosity, lower strength regions (58). The plurality of keys (44) are driven into the plurality of localized, higher porosity, lower strength regions (58) to anchor the threaded insert (42) into the part (32).
