FERROUS AND NON FERROUS METALS

1. FERROUS

1.1. CATEGORIES

1.1.1. Metal alloys that contain iron as a prime constituent.

1.1.2. E.g : steels, cast iron.

1.1.3. Tend to have a higher chance of corrosion.

1.2. ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

1.2.1. Generally greater strength.

1.2.2. Generally greater stiffness.

1.2.3. Better for welding

2. NON FERROUS

2.1. CATERGORIES

2.1.1. Metal alloy contain less

2.1.2. Have a much higher resistance to corrosion

2.1.3. E.g : Cu, Al, Mg, Ti and its alloys

2.2. ADVANTANGES & DISAVANTAGES

2.2.1. Good resistance to corrosion.

2.2.2. Casting and cold working processes and are often easier

2.2.3. High ductility.

2.2.4. Higher thermal and electrical conductivities.

2.2.5. Colors.
