Ferrous metals are metallic compounds (or alloys) that contain Iron. Iron is neither the most or least dense metal. So a compound (or alloy) made of the same component metals but with Gold instead of Iron would no longer be ferrous but would be heavier and one with the same components but using Aluminium would be lighter.

An example of a non ferrous?
Copper is an example of non-ferrous metal.
Is IRON a non-ferrous metal?
NO!!! Iron is the ONLY ferrous metal. The word 'ferrous' comes the Latin for 'Iron', which is 'Ferrum'. THe elemental chemical symbol for iron is 'Fe'.
