Metal ore is one of the most valuable and applied resources\non Earth. From art and education, to science, building, construction, and more,\nthe applications for metal are wide-ranging, thus making its possible uses virtually\nendless. There are two main categories of metal, one of which contains iron,\nand the other does not. These are referred to as ferrous<\/em> and nonferrous<\/em>\nmetal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferrous Metal<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Ferrous metal is any metal that contains iron. Carbon steel,\nstainless steel, cast iron, wrought iron, mild steel, and any other forms of iron\nalloys are examples of ferrous metals. Since ferrous metal is very strong and\ndurable, and retains magnetic properties, it is commonly used to manufacture or\nconstruct things that can resist corrosion and remain strong and stable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferrous metal is used to make everything from skyscrapers to\ndrill bits, and more. Large-scale piping, cars, trucks, yachts, planes,\nconstruction and farming equipment, motors, industrial containers, rail roads,\nand more are common large-scale commodities built from ferrous metals. Smaller\nitems include everything from kitchen knives, to power tools, electrical\nappliances, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonferrous Metal<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Nonferrous metal is metal that does not contain any iron content.\nExamples of non-iron containing metals include copper, nickel, aluminum, brass,\nlead, tin, and zinc. Precious metals are also nonferrous, including gold,\nchromium, tungsten, silver, zirconium, mercury, cobalt, bismuth, cadmium,\nberyllium, and more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonferrous metals are used for their malleability and\nversatility.  They also have a higher\nresistance to rust and corrosion because they do not contain any iron\ncompounds.  Jewelry, electrical wiring,\ncanning, window frames, road signs, electrical fittings, pipe work, batteries,\nroofing, and millions of other items are made from nonferrous metal materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testing for Iron Alloy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

One of the easiest methods to determine if an item contains\nferrous metal is to use a magnet. If the magnet sticks, it is made with ferrous\nmetals like iron and steel. If the magnet does not stick, then it is made\nmostly or entirely of nonferrous metals like copper or aluminum. If the magnet\npulls slightly but does not stick or stay, it is likely that the item is made\nfrom both ferrous and nonferrous metals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
