A bimetallic tube comprising a copper-base alloy and a reactive metal such as titanium, is produced by assembling concentrically a tubular member of each of such materials and interposing a layer of copper, nickel or silver between them, forming a bond between the reactive metal and the copper, nickel or silver and extruding the assembly. The bimetallic tube is useful for heat exchange purposes when corrosive fluids are involved and has better heat transfer properties than an all-reactive metal ...

A fuel composition for internal combustion engines, and more particularly, a fuel composition for internal combustion engines containing less than about 0.5 gram of lead per gallon of fuel is described. The fuel provides acceptable valve seat protection in engines designed to operate on leaded or unleaded fuels. Ordinarily, leaded fuels contain components to reduce deposits within the engine cylinders which unleaded fuels do not. As leaded fuels become unavailable, some refiners will add valve p...
