Non-Ferrous Metals: Alloys, Brass, Bronze, Aluminium, Copper & Magnesium, Titanium - Pulkitm - 07-26-2014

Nonferrous metals contain either no iron or only insignificant amounts used as an alloy.

Some of the more common nonferrous metals Steelworkers work with are as follows: copper, brass; bronze, copper-nickel alloys, lead, zinc, tin, aluminium, and Duralumin. These metals are nonmagnetic.

Non-Ferrous Metals: Alloys

Brass (Copper+Zinc)
Yellow colour
Very ductile and malleable
Good tensile endurance

Bronze (Copper+Tin)
Dark yellow colour
More endurance than brass
Very corrosion resistant
Good sonority
Very fluid when melting, good for molding.
