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 silver an alloy or non-ferrous?

What do you mean by ferrous and non ferrous?
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.

What is non-ferrous alloy?
a non-ferrous alloy is an alloy that does not contain iron.
Is mild steel a non-ferous metal?
A non-ferrous metal is a metal which doesn't contain carbon. Mild steel does contain carbon. So mild steel is a ferous metal. Mild steel is NOT a non ferous metal
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.).
What is the difference between a ferrous alloy a non-ferrous alloy?

Is steel a ferrous or a non-ferrous?

Is brass a non ferrous alloy or a non ferrous metal?
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.
