  • 35. Different Metals and Materials Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are two broad categories of metals that differ based on their iron content. The presence of iron is the primary distinguishing factor between these two groups. Ferrous Metals: Ferrous metals are metals that contain iron as their main constituent. The word "ferrous" is derived from the Latin word "ferrum," which means iron. Ex: Iron (Fe), Steel, Cast Iron, Wrought Iron Properties of Ferrous Metals: Generally magnetic. Prone to corrosion and rusting, especially in the presence of moisture. High strength and durability. Commonly used in construction, infrastructure, automotive, and machinery.
  • 36. Different Metals and Materials Non-Ferrous Metals: Non-ferrous metals are metals that do not contain iron as their main component. Examples of Non-Ferrous Metals: Ex: Aluminum (Al), Copper (Cu), Brass, Bronze, Bronze, Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn). Properties of Non-Ferrous Metals: Generally not magnetic. Resistant to rust and corrosion. Lighter than ferrous metals. Good thermal and electrical conductivity. Commonly used in electrical applications, aerospace, jewellery, and marine environments.
