How do you make ferrous and non-ferrous metals?
Ferrous metals are made by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace with coke, limestone, and other minerals to remove impurities. Non-ferrous metals are extracted from ores through processes like electrolysis or chemical reactions depending on the specific metal. Both types of metals are then alloyed and formed into shapes through casting, rolling, or extrusion.
