A bonded laminate consisting of two strips of dissimilar metals; the bond is usually a stable metallic bond produced by coroiling or diffusion bonding; the composite material is used most often as an element for detecting temperature changes by means of differential thermal expansion in the two layers.
A temperature regulating or indicating device which works on the principal that two dissimilar metals with unequal expansion rates, welded together and will bend as their temperature changes.
