Ferrous
1: the most obvious property of ferrous metals is rust. when ferrous metals are exposed to moist air (not submerged), they react with the oxygen to form a thin layer of iron oxide on top of the metal. in lay terms, this is called rust. rust can also occur in iron alloys such as steel.
2:the second property of ferrous metal is magnetism. iron is the only material which can continually produce a magnetic Field surrounding it without any manipulation or added energy. it also occurs in iron alloys.
3: when iron is reacted with anything, the new compound is usually coloured red ( i think)
other then this, iron has the same properties of other metals;
Other metals
conduct electricity
malleable
ductile
reflective
conduct heat well
relatively high in reactivity series ( i think)
hope it helped
Malleable, ductile, lightweight, and a good conductor.
Ferrous metals are liable to rust and are magnetic. They are often rather heavy, since they contain iron and they can not conduct electricity well, if at all.
Ferrous metal is metal that contains iron. Non-ferrous has no iron.
Ferrous metals are metals that contain iron, or more commonly recognised as magnetic.Non ferrous metals don't contain iron therefore aren't magneticFerrous materials contain iron. Non Ferrous material do not contain iron.
It means if they are effected by a magnet. Ferrous metals are pulled by a magnet.
Copper, aluminum, zinc, tin, lead, gold, silver, and nickel are all familiar non-ferrous metals. The term non-ferrous simply means not iron. Any metal other than iron is non-ferrous.
Mild steel is ferrous with about .16 to .19 percent carbon.
Non-ferrous metals can contain anything - absolutely anything - except iron, steel or other alloys with an iron content.
ferrous metals contain iron, non-ferrous metals do not.
They are both non ferrous metals
Ferrous metals contain ferrite (Iron) whereas non-ferrous metals don't contain any Iron and are usually non-magnetic
There are many types of metals you get ferrous and non ferrous metals. A magnet will stick to ferrous metals such as iron and steel but wont stick to non ferrous metals like copper or alluminium.

because ferrous metals are stronger and harder than ferrous metals thats why they are extensively used in structural application.
The important Thermal Properties of Non-Ferrous Metals are:- 1. High Rate of Heat Transfer 2. Good Thermal Expansion 3. May be used as a High Temperature Superconductor
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.
Get a magnet, Magnets stick to ferrous metals, and do not stick to non-ferrous metals. Metals containing iron are ferrous (iron's chemical symbol: Fe). You use iron filings to see the lines of magnetic flux. Pure iron is as ferrous as you can get! Pure copper, on the other hand, is non-ferrous AND non-magnetic.
A metal is classified as a ferrous metal if it has steel in it , tip (if a magnet sticks to a metal, it is ferrous) A metal is classified as a non-ferrous metal if it has no steel in it, tip (if a magnet does not stick to a metal, it is non-ferrous) Non-ferrous metals: Brass Copper Nickel Tin Ferrous metals: Steel Iron
Ferrous rust's and non ferrous doesn't. :))
