The invention relates to a method and a coating device for applying a cladding layer onto the inner side of a carrier layer during the production of a multilayer heavy-duty pipe, with a pressure-exerting unit having a force application unit. A stable application of the cladding layer is achieved by having the coating device comprise a rolling tool with the pressure-exerting unit and the force application unit, and by providing the pressure-exerting unit with at least one pressure roller having a diameter that is smaller than the inside diameter of the heavy-duty pipe to be produced, and with at least one support element acting diametrically counter thereto with a supporting force in the operating state.

Method for producing a high-pressure tube with inner tube and outer tube made of metal are drawn together through a first drawing die. The outer diameter of the inner tube is smaller than the inner diameter and drawing forms a very stable frictional connection between the inner tube and the outer tube. The manufactured tube has a large wall thickness and is very robust and pressure-resistant while having a very high quality outer shell surface and in particular a very high quality inner shell surface by virtue of the cold forming process. These two properties allow a sufficiently high protection against bursting when pressures in excess of 12,000 bar are applied to the tube. The produced tube has improved dynamic pressure resistance against high pressures by combining a large wall thickness of the tube to be manufactured with a high quality inner shell surface of the tube to be manufactured.

Nitrogen (N) absorption and diffusion treatments are performed for the inner and/or outer surfaces of austenite stainless steel pipe materials in N gas atmosphere at temperatures near 1,100 C. to obtain nitrided stainless steel pipe materials having 0.251.7% (mass) of solid solution nitrogen (N) including a gradient structure formed within the pipe wall in which the concentration of solid solution N continuously decreases gradually from the surface. The solid solution N present in the gradient structure promotes short range ordering (SRO) of substitutional alloying elements leading to homogenization of distribution of alloying elements in the austenite phase, generating an extremely high proof strength (yield strength) about 3 times as high as that of conventional austenite stainless steel pipe materials and enhancing characteristic of anti-hydrogen gas embrittlement (anti-HGE) so as to be suitable for use in a high pressure hydrogen tank utilized in hydrogen cell vehicle (FCV) and a liquid hydrogen tank.

A method of forming a gun barrel is disclosed that includes cold gas-dynamic spraying one or more coatings onto a mandrel. The method may also include heat treating the coating layer(s), contouring the outer coating layer, applying a ceramic top coating to the contoured outer coating layer of the gun barrel, and/or sealing the gun barrel with a liquid metal sealer. The method may also include removing the mandrel.

A tube for use in a heat exchanger comprises a base portion, an upper portion spaced from and opposing the base portion, and a partitioning wall extending between the base portion and the upper portion to divide a hollow interior of the tube into a first flow channel and a second flow channel. The partitioning wall includes a plurality of windows spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction of the tube to provide fluid communication between the first flow channel and the second flow channel. At least one of the windows includes a tabbed portion of the partitioning wall bent to extend into one of the first flow channel or the second flow channel.

A heat exchanger having at least one inner conduit comprising of a second tubular member coaxially disposed within a first tubular member, wherein the second tubular member outer surface is in contact with the first tubular member inner surface. Each of the first and second tubular members is composed of a material with an approximately 0.015 inch maximum wall thickness.

Sensor for high-pressure line and method for manufacturing thereof. The sensor detects parameters or properties of fluid conducted in a high-pressure line while maintaining the high pressure of the fluid. The sensor includes an inner tube extending concentrically in the outer tube that together form a tube and at least one groove which extends in the inner surface of the outer tube or in the outer surface of the inner tube in a longitudinal direction, at least one signal line arranged in the groove, and at least one pick-up element connected to the signal line and arranged at least in the groove or in at least one recess which is provided at least in the outer surface of the inner tube or in the inner surface of the outer tube in addition to the at least one groove. The outer tube is in frictional connection with the inner tube.
