A bimetallic strip is a strip with two metals bonded together. It can be found in thermostats
A bimetallic strip is made out of copper and steel.
A bimetallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement.
YES!
A bimetallic strip usually consists of steel and copper. In some cases brass is used instead of copper.

A bimetallic strip usually consists of steel and copper. In some cases brass is used instead of copper.
The two metals chosen for the bimetallic strip have different modulii of thermal expansion, The bimetallic strip bends as the temperature changes and so the strip can be used to activate relays or other electronic switches and so work as a thermostat.
A bimetallic strip can be used as a thermometer or thermostat. The two metals expand at different rates which will make it bend. You can use this to find the temperature of an oven. When the temperature of the oven increases, the strip will curve and break the electrical contact which make the oven cool down. When the oven cools the bimetallic strip will become straight again and the electrical contact will be remade and the oven will begin to reheat again.

Steel and copper
A bimetallic strip is two different metals glued together. When the temperature changes each metal expands (or contracts) but by different amounts, so the strip as a whole ends up bending. This bending property can be used to turn on (or off) a heater switch.
