Many people are familiar with several types of metals, such as iron, aluminum, steel, copper, and more. These are popular and prevalent metals used in a wide variety of industries all over the world. What many people do not know is that all metals found on the planet are categorized as either \u201cferrous\u201d or \u201cnonferrous\u201d metal. So what is the difference between the two categories? Continue reading and learn the meaning behind nonferrous and ferrous, and the metals that fall within each class.<\/p>\n

Ferrous Metal<\/h1>\n

Metal Recycling Center 317-244-0700<\/p><\/div>Ferrous metals contain iron. Any metal that does not contain iron is classified as nonferrous. This is the simplest way to remember the difference between the two. Ferrous metals differ from nonferrous in several other ways as well. For example, ferrous metals are heavier, less malleable, and contain magnetic properties; whereas, nonferrous metals are lighter, more malleable, and have no magnetic capabilities. Also, ferrous metal is more vulnerable to rust. If you see rust, the metal is definitely ferrous. Below is a short list of ferrous metals:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tCarbon Steel
\n\u2022\tStainless Steel
\n\u2022\tCast Iron
\n\u2022\tWrought Iron
\n\u2022\tMild Steel<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Nonferrous Metal<\/h2>\n

Indianapolis Copper Recycling 317-244-0700<\/p><\/div>Nonferrous metals, as mentioned before, do not contain iron or iron properties. They are much more malleable and lighter than ferrous metal; making them excellent materials in industries that have weight restrictions, but require strength, such as aviation or food canning. Non-ferrous metals also have a high resistance to rust and corrosion. As a result, nonferrous metal is widely used in the production of house gutters, road signs, roofs, piping, and more. Here is an example list of nonferrous metals:
\n
\n\u2022\tCopper
\n\u2022\tBrass
\n\u2022\tSilver
\n\u2022\tGold
\n\u2022\tAluminum
\n\u2022\tNickel
\n\u2022\tTin
\n\u2022\tLead
\n\u2022\tZinc
\n\u2022\tAnd More<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
