What are some of examples of ferous material?

a ferrous metal is a metal partly made of iron and other metals to give the correct properties Iron is often referred to as a ferrous metal, but the word ferrous really refers to compounds containing iron. Compounds containing iron having a valance of +2 are ferrous; those compounds containing iron having a valence of +3 are ferric. In a more general sense, ferrous metals are metals or metal alloys that contain the element iron. Steel, for example, is a ferrous metal, and there are a number of other alloys that contain iron. Use the link below for more information. all ferrous metals are magnetic and contain a small amount of other metals to provide the correct properties


A metolloid has?

A metallod has some properties of a metal and some properties of a nonmetal.


Is germanium the element a metal or nonmetal?

Germanium is neither. It is a metalliod, because it has some properties of a metal and some properties of a nonmetal. However, the substance of germanium is a metal.


What is difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals?

Ferrous is from the Latin term which means iron (hence the elemental symbol "Fe") . A non-ferrous metal is any metal which is not iron or any alloy of metals which does not contain iron as a component. Most (but not all) ferrous alloys are magnetic and even those which are vary in magnetic attraction due to the amount of iron in the alloy. Stainless steel is not always magneticly attracted because the process of making it "stainless" removes a great deal of the iron (it is put in nitric acid to remove the iron leaving only a small amount of iron and mostly nickel). All ferrous alloys will exhibit some degree of oxidation (called rust only in the case of iron and iron alloys) which has a distinct reddish colour. If this isn't enough, please be more specific in your question as to what kind of difference (electro shell, valence, atomic weight, atomic number, Etc.). Ferrous is magnetic due to its iron content, non ferrous doesn't contain iron, and therefore isn't magnetic.

Is pig iron non ferrous metal?

Ferrous metal means a metal containing at least some iron. So pig iron must be a ferrous metal.


Is alluminium a ferrous metal?

No. Aluminium is an element in its own right, meaning that it contains no foreign ions. A ferrous metal is a metal which contains some iron. The symbol for iron is Fe, hence the derivation of the word "ferrous"


What are some example's of metal?

Ferrous metals are metals with a trace of iron in them. Some examples of ferrous metals would be steel, pig iron and other alloys, for example stainless steel. Ferrous metals are known for their magnetic properties.


What does a ferrous metal contain?

Ferrous refers to anything containing iron, so an example of a ferrous metal would be steel.


Name some non ferrous metals?

any metal that is not iron


What are some examples of ferrous metals?

The word "Ferrous" derives from the Latin ferum meaning iron, so any metal containing iron is a ferrous metal. If Ferrous metals contain iron then this means that any metal that contains iron and is magnetic is a ferrous metals. Some examples of Ferrous metals are steel, stainless steel, and all types of iron such as wrought iron, cast iron, pig iron and some others. . . carbon steel . .mild steel . .


Is a bridge a ferrous metal?

a bridge is not a ferrous metal, however it does contain steel. Steel is made with iron, therefore it is a ferrous metal ( think Fe on the periodic table of elements). The only kinds that may be exempt from this are some older bridges made out of wood( even then, there would be nails used).


What is ferrous metal and Non-ferrous metal and what is their difference?

Ferrous metals are metals having iron content or having some proportion of iron in them. Non-Ferrous metals on the other hand, do not have any iron content in them. Examples for Ferrous metals : Carbon steel, Stainless steel, Wrought iron, etc. Examples for non-ferrous metals: Brass, Copper, Lead, Tin, Nickel, etc.
