Abstract
A small thick-walled composite metal fuel injection tubing for a diesel engine, for example, is manufactured from an outer carbon steel pipe, and an inner stainless steel pipe press-fitted in the large diameter carbon steel pipe by drawing. The press-fitted mating surfaces of the inner and outer pipes are metallurgically and integrally bonded together by heat-treating. As a result, at least an inside wall surface of the inner stainless steel pipe has a diffused layer of at least one kind of metal, or an alloy of two or more kinds ,of metals in combination, selected from the group consisting of Ni, Cr, Mo, Co, Al and Cu.
