| has gloss | (noun) a strip consisting of two metals that bends with a rise in temperature bimetallic strip |
| has gloss | eng: A bimetallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement. The strip consists of two strips of different metals which expand at different rates as they are heated, usually steel and copper, or in some cases brass instead of copper. The strips are joined together throughout their length either riveting, brazing or welding. The different expansions force the flat strip to bend one way if heated, and in the opposite direction if cooled below its normal temperature. The metal with the higher coefficient of thermal expansion is on the outer side of the curve when the strip is heated and on the inner side when cooled. |

| has gloss | spa: Una lámina bimetálica está constituida por dos láminas de metal, cada una de ellas con diferente coeficiente de dilatación, superpuestas y soldadas entre sí. De este modo se consigue que cuando se calientan, al dilatarse cada una de ellas de forma distinta, el conjunto se deforma, pudiendo aprovecharse esta deformación para la apertura o cierre de un contacto eléctrico, cuya actuación dependería de la temperatura. |
