bankbet99: The concept of bimetal editing this paragraph
Bimetallic sheet is a composite material composed of two or more metals or other materials with suitable properties.
content
The bimetal is also called a thermal bimetal. Due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of each component layer, when the temperature changes, the deformation of the active layer is greater than that of the passive layer, so the whole bimetal will bend to the passive layer side. , Then the curvature of this composite material changes, resulting in deformation. Among them, the higher coefficient of expansion is called the active layer; the lower coefficient of expansion is called the passive layer. However, with the expansion of bimetallic applications and the advancement of combining technology, three-layer, four-layer, and five-layer bimetal have appeared in modern times. In fact, all composite materials that change in shape depending on temperature changes are still called thermal bimetals.
organization
The material of the active layer is mainly manganese-nickel-copper alloy, nickel-chromium-iron alloy, nickel-manganese-iron alloy and nickel, etc.; the material of the passive layer is mainly nickel-iron alloy with a nickel content of 34-50%.
use
Bimetallic strips are widely used in relays, switches, controllers, etc. The starter of a fluorescent lamp is a good example. In addition, a thermometer can be made of bimetallic strips, which can measure higher temperatures.
A bimetallic strip is made from two combined metal strips that have different rates of expansion when heated. This causes the strip to bend and so close or open an electrical contact switch.
A thermostat is the most common item containing a bimetallic strip.
pH strip are strips that tell you what substances are acids alkali or neutral
Universal strips will show a wide range of pH values, but the color range between pH values is limited. The narrow strips will show a wider range of colors, but won't show you anything outside the range of the pH paper.
One can buy pH strips from many different places online. Many pet stores, health stores, and many pool cleaning stores offer pH strips. They can be purchased from Amazon as well.
Thermostats,.
it consists of strips madeof two different metals with different coefficient of expansion.use as fire alarm etc...
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 bends when heated because it is composed of two different types of metal. The different metals form the two sides of the strip expand and contract at different rates when subjected to a temperature change. When heating a bimetallic strip, one side of the metals expands faster than the other, making it longer. Because it is bonded to the other metal, it cannot expand in a straight line. The only way the two metals can stay bonded while expanding at different rates, is for strip to bend, one side becoming longer than the other.
That would be more of a unimetallic strip. No, you need to use two different metals.
A bimetallic thermometer has a coil of metal strips in it. The metal strips are made of two different materials that expand/contract at different rates. Because they're connected together at one end, when the metals warm up or cool down, the coil changes shape. You use a bimetallic thermometer when you want an electrical circuit to close due to a change of temperature.
Bimetallic strips are useful in science experiments. They show you how one type of metal has a different thermal expansion rate than the other.
That's a "bi-metal" or "bi-metallic" strip.

a bimetallic strip
Bimetallic strips were commonly used in thermostats. The two metals would expand at different rates and therefore bend. When a bimetallic strip, made of iron and brass [or any other metals] is heated, both metals expand differently, causing the bimetallic strip to bend. These bimetallic strips are used in fire alarms. The heat of the fire, causes the brass and iron strips to expand, ultimately resulting in the bending of the bimetallic strip, which on bending touches the screw adjacent to it, thus completing the circuit. Once the circuit is complete, the bell begins to ring. Thus the brass bends more than the steel, but on cooling, contracts more than the steel, thus causing the bimetallic strip to bend in the opposite direction.
thermostats contain bimetallic strips, which are strips of two different metals joined together. When the thermostat is on cool, thermal energy is released. when the thermostat is on high, thermal energy moves through the air (everywhere in the atmosphere).
