What is the differnce btween ferrouse and alloy?

Ferrous refers to materials containing iron, while an alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, including at least one metal. Therefore, all ferrous materials are alloys, but not all alloys are ferrous.


Why is ferrous alloy has more corrosion resistant then iron?

An alloy is a mixture of metals and a ferrous alloy is an alloy who's main constituent is iron. Iron in itself is extremely susceptible to corrosion, however, with the addition of other metals to create a ferrous alloy, such as the addition of slag (Such as in wrought iron), Nickel (Alnico, Invar, etc), Maganese (Bismanthol), Chromium (Kanthal), Titanium (Ferrotitanium) and so on give the alloy it's corrosion resistance. So, in short, almost, if not all ferrous alloys contain a constituent that is corrosion resistant, hence why ferrous alloys are more resistant to corrosion that straight iron.
