The invention relate to a method applicable to pipeline, in particular to a method of repairing reinforcing and / or strengthening a metallic pipe and a pipe crack arrest method, which is characterized in that: a part of a pipe needing repairing reinforcing and / or strengthening or needing crack arrest is firstly coated with insulating material, and then high strength fiber composite material is applied. As the materials used in the invention and the material used in the metallic pipe body portion a similar elastic modulus, the materials used in the invention can be integrated with the pipe body to bear pressure in the pipe together and finally form a bearing capacity required by the composite pipe, such as the original maximum working pressure of the pipe restored; furthermore, the materials used in the invention have good crack arrest function in case of a pipe burst accident. In addition, the insulating material used in the bottom layer completely removes the possibility of galvanic corrosion between the pipe and the reinforcing material. The method provided by the invention which has simple construction without fire work not only facilitates the close attaching between the reinforcing material and the pipe body and between reinforcing layers, but also enables repairing reinforcing and strengthening operations on pipelines in active service.

A condensing gas boiler having a corrosion prevention structure of preventing corrosion caused by using heterogeneous metal is provided, which includes a casing provided with a combustion chamber therein; a present heat exchanger arranged in the casing, which includes a first tubular tube made of a copper material having a plurality first thermal pins formed by processing an outer circumferential surface; a latent heat exchanger disposed at a distance from the present heat exchanger, which includes a second tubular tube whose inner portion is made of a copper material and whose outer portion is made of aluminum, having a plurality second thermal pins formed by processing an outer circumferential surface; end plates contacting and engaged with each other while the present heat exchanger and the latent heat exchanger are fixedly arranged in respective rows and installed in the casing; and a plurality of connection tubes which are mutually connected through a connection portion so that water can circulate through the present heat exchanger and the latent heat exchanger, wherein connection tubes which are made of a corrosion-resistant material are installed to have a broader area, and simultaneously connection tubes which are made of a corrosion-easy material are installed to have a smaller area, to thereby suppress galvanic corrosion through an unfavorable area ratio, and wherein an insulator for electrical insulation is provided between the end plates. Galvanic corrosion or stay current corrosion caused by using heterogeneous metal between the present and latent heat exchangers is suppressed, to thereby enhance durability of a product and thus heighten reliability of the product.

A wire and electrode combination suitable for use with implanted medical devices, and a method for coupling the wire and electrode to achieve a robust electrical connection suitable for use with such medical devices are disclosed. The apparatus employs a wire that is optimized for strength, an electrode optimized for biocompatibility, and a termination sleeve with a closed distal end for coupling the wire to the electrode, while eliminating the potential for galvanic corrosion, enhancing weld quality, and facilitating manufacture of the apparatus. The method involves compressing the sleeve to engage the wire at two locations, where contact between the sleeve and wire at the first location seals the interior of the sleeve, and contact between the sleeve and wire at the second location electrically couples the wire to the sleeve. The sleeve, which is easier to manipulate than the wire, is then spot welded to the electrode.
