The Mechanics Behind Bimetal Thermostats

At the core of a bimetal thermostat are two different metals that are bonded together. These metals have distinct thermal expansion rates, meaning that as the temperature changes, one metal expands or contracts more than the other. This difference causes the bimetallic strip to bend when the temperature rises or falls. This bending action is what enables the thermostat to control the temperature in a system.
