I Ferrous & Non Ferrous Metal
Did you know that there are two types of metals - ferrous and non-ferrous? Ferrous metals have iron in them and examples include steel, cast iron, and wrought iron. On the other hand, non-ferrous metals do not have any iron and include metals like copper, aluminum, and zinc.
Ferrous metals are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and transportation industries due to their strength and durability. They are also frequently used in the production of machinery and tools.
Non-ferrous metals are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and have good conductivity. Non-ferrous metals are used extensively in the construction, automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries, among others. Some common uses include electrical wiring, piping, roofing, and packaging materials. Additionally, non-ferrous metals are often recycled due to their value and sustainability benefits.
