No, strips made up of bimetalic strip made of brass and silver can't be used in thermostat as ,
Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Brass = 10.4
Thermal Expansion Coefficient of silver = 11
Bimetallic strips used in thermostats have metals that expand at different rates for the practical applicability. But Brass and silver have nearly equal thermal expansion coefficients that makes them unsuitable for this purpose .
