By stating its characteristics	1Bimetals are components made up of two separate metal units, each occupying a distinct position in the component. 2Bimetal rods or wires (also called clad metal, duo- or dual-metal) are made of dissimilar metals. 3The rod core a cylindrical body made of one metal, is surrounded by a concentric, cylindrical sleeve of another metal. 6It is a multimetallic-containing more than two dissimilar metals. 8Bimetal rods or wire stems make it possible to combine properties of dissimilar metals.
By Examples	4Some fibrous metals may also be regarded as bimetallic; for example, rods made by unidirectional solidification of some eutectic compositions containing a metallic (or nonmetallic) compound of fibrous filaments embedded in an almost pure metallic matrix. 8Bimetal rods or wire stems make it possible to combine properties of dissimilar metals. For example: 9Aluminum-clad steel wire combines the strength of steel with the electrical conductivity and corrosion resistivity of aluminum. 10Superconductor core clad with copper sleeves combines superconductivity at cryogenic temperatures with assurance against failure when a local temporary rise in resistance or temperature occurs.
By function	7The two elements of a bimetallic product are usually intimately interlocked, so that they function in unison.
