Bi stands for two.
So bimetallic will be something that contains two metals.
For example a coin that is made up of two metals (generally copper and nickel) Bimetalic means composed of two different metals (such as, for example, zinc and copper). These are distinct metals, not combined as an alloy.
Bimetallism is an economics term. It refers to a basis for currency valuation that centers on the two metals, silver and gold. In bimetallism, a given weight ("x" ounces) of one metal is equal in value to a given weight ("y" ounces) of the other metal. As an example, in the 19th century, the Populist party supported a policy of bimetallism in which 16 oz. of silver had the equivalent worth of 1 oz. of gold. A link can be found below.
The bimetallic strip bends.
A bimetallic strip is made out of steel and iron
A bimetallic strip is made out of copper and steel.
A bimetallic strip is a strip with two metals bonded together. It can be found in thermostats
A bimetallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement.
A bimetallic element is used in order to react it from various temperature that will indicated the temperature of an object or body.
A bimetallic thermometer uses a bimetallic strip wrapped into a coil. This strip usually consists of either steel and copper or steel and brass. A bimetallic thermometer is a type of thermometer made with a couple metal strips. They have differing thermal expansions that are brazen together. Any distortion in this apparatus caused by variations in the temperature is used to measure the temperature.
