Why is steel a ferrous metal?
Steel is a 'ferrous' metal because it is an alloy of iron and carbon, and possibly other metals. The word 'ferrous' comes from Latin, and means 'iron'. Remember in the Periodic Table the symbol for iron is 'Fe'.
Is carbon steel ferrous?
Yes, any steel is ferrous. Ferrous means that it is mainly made from Iron (Fe), which steel is.
Can you give me a example of a ferrous metal?
Examples of ferrous metals are :1.Mild Steel2.Wrought Iron3.Stainless Steel4.Cast Iron5.Carbon Steel
Is mild steel a alloy or ferrous or non ferrous?
It's an alloy containing mainly carbon. It's ferrous.
Is carbon steel a non ferrous metal?
High carbon steel is a metal.The addition of carbon makes the steel harder after heat treatment.
Is steel a ferrous?
Steel is made from ferrous ore and carbon and therefore a ferrous metal.
Is alluminium ferrous?
