Is plain carbon steel ferrous or nonferrous?

High carbon steel is an alloy and is ferrous; the terms ferrous and non-ferrous are not restricted to elements only, but also used for alloys that are predominantly one or more of the ferrous metals (iron, cobalt, and nickel.).


Is alpha brass is ferrous or non ferrous metal?

It is a Non-Ferrous metal. Think of it like this, if it has steel in it and has not got alloy in it it is ferrous i.e. HSLA Steel(high strength low alloy steel). If it is Non-ferrous are made up of one or more metals other that iron i.e. copper and tin, zinc and magnesium.

Is iron or steel ferrous or non-ferrous?

All iron or steel (even stainless steel) is ferrous. The word "ferrous" means "iron." All steel contains iron. All steels also contain impurities which improve various useful properties of iron, such as strength. There is high carbon steel, or steel with chromium or other elements that improve abrasion resistance or reduce rusting (stainless steel). There are some non magnetic steels, but because they contain iron they are still ferrous.
