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 и 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 и Tensile Test Guide, document per Mill Test Certificate Guide. HXSCO supplies clad and bimetallic stock for your service.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Two metals bonded so they bend when heated because they expand by different amounts — used in thermostats.
By explosion, roll-bonding or diffusion bonding two metals into one composite plate or strip.
Vessels and tanks needing a corrosion-resistant face (stainless/nickel) over a strong, economical steel backing.
Yes — it gives copper conductivity where it matters at a lower aluminium-backed cost.
