Thermobimetal

Thermobimetals are laminated materials consisting of at least two components with different thermal expansion coefficients. During heating one of the components expands more than the other(s), which results in a curvature of the thermobimetal. The greater the variance in thermal expansion between the components the greater the curvature will be.

During practical application external forces often restrict a free movement of the thermobimetal. Any partial or complete restriction results in a corresponding force. This way a thermobimetal has the capacity of retaining or releasing energy.

For improved weldability an electroplating treatment may be added.

We manufacture strips with a thickness from 0,10 mm to 2 mm and a width from 1 mm to 150 mm. The tolerances vary depending on the dimensions; the narrowest tolerance is +0,1 mm for width and ±0,002 mm for thickness.
