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.
Two metals with different rates of expansion fastened together. When heated or cooled they will warp and can be made to open or close a switch or valve.
formed of two different metals or alloys; especially in sheets bonded together
A bonded laminate of two metals each having different temperature coefficients so arranged that the material deflects when subjected to a change in temperature.
A device that is composed of two dissimilar metals bonded together to form a single metal strip. Each metal will expand differently to a change in temperature and cause the single metal strip to bend when heated or cooled. This movement can act as an actuator in various types of switches.(Added: 8-Sep-1999 1151 Hits Rating: 7.04 Votes: 24)
Two metals of different coefficients of expansion welded together so that the piece will bend in one direction when heated, and in the other when cooled, and can be used to open or close electrical circuits, as in thermostats.
(n) material made by bonding together sheets of two different metals
A combination of two differing metals bonded together. Main application in the Jewellery Industry is in the manufacture of lockets and padlocks where the material used is a 9ct sheet backed with 9ct solder (referred to as 9ct SC/9ct easy solder backed sheet). Also available in silver. The use of this material removes the need for a separate application of solder.
Two dissimilar metals joined together to form one unit with a differential expansion rating, and it will bend if there is a temperature change.
Printing plate composed of two metals in layers. One metal serves as the base for the image area; the second plate, the non-image area.
Casting, usually centrifugal, made of two different metals, fused together.
A double-sided sheet metal, composed of two different types of metal that have been rolled and fused together.
Two dissimilar metals fastened together to create a distortion of the assembly with temperature changes.
Bi-metal refers to an object that is composed of two separate metals joined together. Instead of being a mixture of two or more metals, like alloys, bimetallic objects consist of layers of different metals. Trimetal and tetrametal refer to objects composed of three and four separate metals respectively.
