You may use any two metals which have different thermal expansion properties. Steel and brass are commonly used because of cheapness. There is not even a need for them to be metals - you could bond two glasses of different thermal properties, and these would bend as well.
The coeifficent of expansion per degree can be found in the manufacturers charts
Brass is a metal alloy
Gold, definitely. How about fixing this question as to what type of "brass" There is Yellow brass 60% Copper 40% Zinc and the more common red brass 85% copper and 15% Zinc then there is Muntz metal and Bronze thus BRASS = COPPER as there is NO gold content in "Brass"
Brass is shiny under certain conditions. If the brass is polished or cleaned the right way it will result in a shiny appearance.
No, the brass rod could be expanding or contracting due to changes in temperature, but it does not necessarily mean that brass shrinks on heating. Temperature changes can cause thermal expansion or contraction in materials, including brass. To determine if brass specifically shrinks on heating, a controlled experiment measuring thermal expansion coefficients would be needed.
The order of expansion rate from lowest to highest is: copper, brass, iron, aluminium. Copper and brass have relatively low thermal expansion coefficients, while aluminium and iron have higher coefficients.
When heated, a bimetallic strip made of iron and brass will bend towards the brass side due to the different coefficients of thermal expansion of the two metals. This is because brass expands more than iron when heated, causing the strip to curve towards the side with greater expansion.
Brass and iron have different coefficients of thermal expansion, so when exposed to a change in temperature, they would expand by different amounts. This difference in expansion causes the bimetallic strip to bend due to the unequal expansion of the two metals.

Generally it should be made from brass
A bimetallic strip is typically made up of two different metals bonded together with different coefficients of thermal expansion. Common combinations include brass and steel or copper and steel. When exposed to temperature changes, these metals expand at different rates, causing the strip to bend.
Aluminium bronze expands at a quicker rate than aluminium due to its higher thermal expansion coefficient. Aluminium bronze is a copper-based alloy that contains aluminium, which makes it expand more with heat compared to pure aluminium.
Well united kingdom like the guitar and so the national instrument for great Britain (united kingdom's) is anything brass so like a brass guitar a brass flute anything brass
