For one, they are not affected by magnetic forces. This is sometimes quite desirable. There are other advantages, as well.
Hunan Nonferrous Metals was created in 2004.
Tongling Nonferrous Metals was created in 1949.
Disadvantages- may be more expensive and not as strong as ferrous metals.Advantages- may be a better electrical conductor, not affected by magnetism, may be corrosion resistant.
An oxide
Some examples of nonferrous metals include copper, aluminum, lead, zinc, and tin. These metals do not contain significant amounts of iron and are often used for their corrosion resistance, lightweight properties, and electrical conductivity.
Non Ferrous metals are those metals which do not contain iron.They are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals.

Lead and zinc account for 2 and 3 percent of U.S. nonferrous metals production, respectively.

Because of their tendency to stick to the blade.
Ferrous metals contain iron and are prone to rusting, which is a form of corrosion caused by exposure to oxygen and moisture. Nonferrous metals, such as aluminum or copper, do not contain iron and do not rust like ferrous metals. They can still corrode but often form a protective oxide layer that helps prevent further corrosion.
