No, as non-ferrous means without iron (Fe=Ferrum in Latin), which means aluminium can eventually be present in an alloy with iron, such as Hiduminium.
aluminum
Aluminium alloys are nonferrous because they do not contain iron as the main element. Instead, they are primarily composed of aluminium with other elements such as copper, silicon, and magnesium added to improve their mechanical properties.
An oxide
nonferrous
Both steel and aluminum alloys where used.Both steel and aluminum alloys where used.
Anything made of iron and iron's alloys are called ferrous. For example iron nails, steel bolts, nuts and other steel parts, etc. Metals other than iron and its alloys are called non-ferrous, like brass, copper, lead, aluminum, etc.
No, silicon and germanium are not always used in alloys. Silicon is commonly used in alloys, such as in aluminum-silicon alloys. Germanium is less commonly used in alloys due to its high cost and limited availability compared to other alloying elements.

Airplanes are made out of aluminum alloys because weight is such an important factor in aircraft design. Aluminum and aluminum alloys are much lighter than other metals.
