The adjective 'ferrous' implies that something contains or is made of iron. Therefore, cast iron is ferrous.
Silver is non-ferrous. Ferrous is a term refering to the presence of iron, so silver can only be ferrous if it were a silver-iron alloy.
Bronze is an alloy not a metal. It does not contain iron so is "non ferrous".
Nichrome is a alloy of particularly Chromium and Nickel, but sometimes it may also contain iron (not as impurity). So depending on the content of Iron, this alloy can be called as Ferrous or Non ferrous.
Copper is neither ferrous nor an alloy. Copper is an element in its own right, and is in the periodic table. 'Ferrous' refers to IRON . from the Latin for iron ' Ferrum. Copper can be mixed with other metals to form alloys , notably ,brass and bronze.
The term "ferrous" typically means a kind of metal or alloy which contains iron. "Non-ferrous", naturally, means a metal or alloy which contains little or no iron. Sometimes the term non-ferrous is used to describe any sort of metal which is not steel or iron. Finally, sometimes these terms are used to identify whether or not a metal can be affected by magnets. Ferrous metals will usually respond or "stick to" a magnet whereas non-ferrous metals are not easily magnetised.
a non-ferrous alloy is an alloy that does not contain iron.
Ferrous alloys contain iron.
yes. It is a non ferrous metal in that it is an alloy of copper and zinc. Ferrous refers to iron, the elemental symbol for iron is Fe.
it means they do not contain any iron, ferrous is latin for iron

A ferrous object is one that contains iron. Most nails are iron or steel (an iron alloy). Some nails are made of brass, which would be non-ferrous.
A ferrous alloy refers to alloys that contain Iron (Fe) as the main constituent such as steels. Some examples of non-ferrous alloys are aluminum, titanium-based alloys, brass, bronze, .

technically no, but it could be possible as a small percentage in an alloy
