Bimetals

/ˈbaɪmɛtəlz/ noun

Definition

Plural of bimetal; multiple composite materials made of two bonded metals, especially used in industrial applications.

Etymology

From 'bimetal' plus the standard English plural '-s.' Used in technical and engineering contexts to describe various two-metal composite materials.

Kelly Says

Engineers love bimetals because one metal expanding differently than another doesn't just make them useless—it makes them perfectly useful for measurement and temperature control, turning a 'defect' into a feature.
