Even though there are more non-ferrous components going into modern cars, I'm pretty sure that cars are still typically mostly ferrous metal (by weight.)

Frames are mostly steel and steel alloys. Wheels are hit and miss. Engine blocks tend to be aluminum any more, but the inner workings (pistons, rings, nuts, bolts, camshaft, etc.) are steel. Hard-life components (springs, shock absorber bodies, control arms, axles) are ferrous. Some cars have various body panels that can be aluminum or plastic, but most are still ferrous alloys such as steel.

How do you anneal a non ferrous and a ferrous metal?

To anneal a non-ferrous metal, heat the metal to a specific temperature and then allow it to cool slowly. For ferrous metals, the process involves heating the metal above its critical temperature and then cooling it gradually to relieve internal stresses and improve its ductility and hardness. Both processes aim to make the metal more workable and less brittle.

Is osmium ferros?

No, osmium is not a ferrous metal. Osmium is a dense and hard transition metal that belongs to the platinum group on the periodic table. It is known for its high density and is often used in alloys to make electrical contacts and fountain pen nibs.


Is lead and brass ferrous metals?

No. Strictly speaking, "ferrous metals" are those that contain iron, and neither lead nor brass contains appreciable amounts of iron. It might be possible (I'm not a metallurgist) to make a type of brass that did contain a significant amount of iron, in which case it would be ferrous. [Note: apparently it is; I looked it up, and both Aich's Alloy and Muntz Metal are types of brass that contain some iron.]
