Bimetallic Strip

A bimetallic strip consists of two different types of metal bonded together, each with a different tendency to expand or contract with temperature changes. When the temperature rises or falls, one metal expands or contracts more than the other, causing the strip to bend or curve. This property allows bimetallic strips to detect temperature changes and is commonly used in thermostats and temperature sensors to control heating or cooling systems automatically. Their ability to convert temperature variations into mechanical motion makes them valuable in various temperature regulation devices.
