Why we're the #1 provider of clad metals
Wherever there’s a need to sense, control or protect.

Thermostat metals comprise one of the most widely applied families of clad metals. Typically processed in strip form, they are combinations of metals that are selected and joined to best take advantage of the “bimetal effect” – movement caused by their different coefficients of expansion, as they respond to temperature changes. At work, at home, in an airplane, boat or car – virtually anywhere on earth – you are almost always within reach of a thermostat metal device.

At Engineered Materials Solutions we are a start-to-finish resource for materials and parts made from thermostat metals. We have produced more of these materials for more different applications than anyone else in the world. And we’ve done it using a greater number of component metals yielding a higher number of materials combinations offering a wider range of performance parameters. It’s given us an immense amount of knowledge about all aspects of the technology, from input material selection to measuring end product performance.

We invite you to take advantage of what we’ve learned and put this knowledge to work to maximize the performance and minimize the cost of your products.
