= Bimetal
{wiki=Bimetal}
Bimetal refers to a composite material made from two distinct metals or metal alloys that are joined together. The different properties of the two metals can be leveraged to create a material that possesses desirable characteristics such as strength, thermal conductivity, resistance to corrosion, or expansion properties. Bimetallic components are commonly used in applications where temperature fluctuations occur, such as in bimetallic thermometers and thermostats.
