Relatively inexpensive method of forming metal tubes into wall component devised. One initially selects ordinary, imprecisely dimensioned tubes having passed both pressure test and inspections for wall thickness and surface imperfections, and tubes bonded to each other in shorter, simpler procedure. Eliminates need for progressive die forming and attendant inspections after forming steps. Also applicable in fabrication of heat exchangers and other unitary assemblies of tubes.
