Bimetallic Tubes When corrosive requirements or temperature conditions do not permit the use of a single alloy for the tubes, bimetalhc (or duplex) tubes may be used. These can be made from almost anv possible combination of metals. Tube sizes and gauges can be varied. For thin gauges the wall thickness is generally divided equally between the two components. In heavier gauges the more expensive component may comprise from a fifth to a third of the total thickness. 

The unequal attack which occurs in tap water, condensate and other mild electrolytes may lead to perforations of thin-gauge sheet and even to deep pitting of castings. In stronger electrolytes the effect is variable. In chloride solutions such as sea-water, attack on the metal usually results in the pitting of some areas only, but where the metal surface has been rendered reactive, as by shot blasting, attack may be so rapid that uniform dissolution over the whole surface may occur. In either case magnesium-base alloys are not usually suitable for use in aqueous liquids since they are not intrinsically resistant to these electrolytes.

Under the best of conditions, single lap joint samples do not fail in pure shear due to the tensile and peel forces present at the ends of the overlap. These non-shear forces are exacerbated when using thin gauge adherends. Because of this, the lap joint dimensions as well as the testing rate were modified from the ASTM D-1002 standard as a result of earlier work on thin gauge steel adherends.

Direct roll coating method is used for coating thin-gauge sheets or coil stock. The sheet stock is fed between applicator rollers rotating in the same direction as the moving sheet. The apphcator rollers are fed by smaller pick-up rollers that are partially immersed in trays containing the paint. The coat sheet is subsequently fed into an oven for baking.
