Bimetal capable of deformation
Abstract
Abstract A BIMETAL IS DISCLOSED THAT CONSISTS ESSENTIALLY OF A FIRST METALLIC ELEMENT THAT UNDERGOES TOW PHASE CHANGES AT TWO PRESELECTED TEMPERATURES. THE FIRST ELEMENT IS METALLURGICALLY BONDED TO A SECOND METALLIC ELEMENT THAT DOES NOT UNDERGO PHASE CHANGES UNDER THE OPERATING TEMPERATURES AND HAS A COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION WHICH APPROXIMATELY MATCHES THE FIRST ELEMENT THROUGH THE RANGE OF THE PRESELECTED TEMPERATURES. THE BIMETAL IS DEFORMED A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT BY SUBJECTING THE BIMETAL TO ONE OF THE TRANSFORMATION TEMPERATURES. AFTER DEFORMATION THE BIMETAL REMAINS IN THE DEFORMED STATE WITHOUT AN APPRECIABLE CHANGE UNTIL THE BIMETAL REACHED S THE OTHER PHASE CHANGE TEMPERATURE.
