Short answer: Bimetallic strip and clad metal combine two metals so each contributes its best property — corrosion resistance, conductivity or cost on one side, strength or economy on the other — for thermostats, cladding, contacts and reactive-service parts.

How Bimetals Are Made
Explosion, roll-bond or Metal Diffusion Bonding Guide joins the layers into one composite; roll cladding is related to Metal Cladding Facades and heavy plate from Steel Plate Supplier. The bond must survive thermal cycling — tie to Thermal Expansion Of Metals y Metal Thermal Fatigue Guide.
What They Do
The classic bimetallic strip bends with temperature (thermostats) because the two metals expand differently (Thermal Expansion Of Metals); clad plate puts stainless or nickel against corrosion while steel carries load (Stainless Steel Supplier, Nickel Alloy Supplier); Cu/Al clad cuts cost in Busbar Copper Vs Aluminum.
Design, QA & Supply
Check bond shear, thickness and corrosion face; verify with Metal Ndt Guide y Tensile Test Guide, document per Mill Test Certificate Guide. HXSCO supplies clad and bimetallic stock for your service.
