A sheet metal is rolled double to form a cylinder having an inner plate 2
and an outer plate 3, and form an overlapped portion 4, with their
circumferential end portions 2a and 3a crossed in the circumferential
direction. Between the inner plate 2 and the outer plate 3, a plurality
of line grooves 5 are formed to extend outward of an outer tube 1, with
their tip end portions facing with each other to be apart from each other
by a predetermined distance from a peripheral edge of one of the inner
plate and outer plate, and these line grooves 5 are arranged in parallel
with each other along a longitudinal direction of the outer plate 3. And,
at least one portion of the overlapped portion positioned between the
neighboring line grooves is joined by welding W.
