Metal Rimmed plastics

What else does bi-metal refer to? I’ve only ever heard it in reference to plastic-metal hybrids.

Just to name a few.

last I checked, people just called them metals. bi-metal doesn’t even technically fit all of those. Like the night moves 5 is nickel plated aluminum, with gold plated bronze rims. Should we call it a quad-metal?

Just end this thread. Call it what you want. The community has called it bimetals for years. The term doesn’t necessarily translate into “2 metals” (i can be interpreted to be that) but mean bi= “2 materials” and metal= “metal rims.”

Bi-metal or hybrid, I just like the name hybrid.

The body of the yoyo is still composed of two metals. Finishes are variable, the Night Moves 5 in the pic above is actually anodised rather than nickel plated. I think it makes perfect sense to call them bi-metals, regardless of finish. If someone were game to make a yoyo composed of three types of metal it’d be accurate to call it a tri-metal.
