On our planet, and within the core, lies hundreds of\nthousands of natural ores and minerals that we mine to make metal. Of the vast\nvarieties of metals found within the Earth, all can be categorized as either\nferrous or nonferrous. Ferrous metals and alloys contain iron, while nonferrous\ncontain no iron. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from these umbrella categories, metals can be further\nbroken down into more intimate classifications and descriptions, such as\nprecious and noble metals. But have you ever heard of metals being described\nusing color? Well, it is possible that you have come across red metals, yellow\nmetals, and even green metals! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Metals<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Red metal<\/em> is an informal\nterm used to denote common alloys we know as copper, bronze, and brass. You can\nprobably see quite well that all three of these alloys have a red-like tone, thus\nearning them the aforementioned moniker. Red metals have several beneficial\nattributes, such as corrosion resistance, high conductivity, high tensile\nstrength, ductility, and aesthetics. For this reason, they are commonly used to\nmake musical instruments, plumbing parts, wires, marine hardware, sculptures, and\nmore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow Metals<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Also known as Muntz<\/em>\nmetal, yellow metal is named after an English businessman, George F. Muntz, who\nreceived a patent in 1832. Although they may share some of the same types of\nmetal, red and yellow metals are much different. Yellow metals is another\ninformal moniker used to describe a type of brass alloy that contains an\naverage composition of 60% copper and 40% zinc. It\u2019s most common applications\nis for manufacturing corrosion-resistant machinery parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Metals<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are actually not metals known as \u201cgreen\u201d metals,\nhowever, you may have heard of electrum, which is often called \u201cgreen gold.\u201d Wikipedia.com\ndescribes electrum as \u201ca naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, with\ntrace amounts of copper and other metals.\u201d An alloy is a metal that is made up\nof two or more metals, such as brass, which contains copper and zinc. It\u2019s most\ncommon applications throughout history, and even now, are for jewelry, plated\nplaques and awards, coinage, and investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
