Want this question answered?
ferrous metals contain iron, non-ferrous metals do not.
because ferrous metals are stronger and harder than ferrous metals thats why they are extensively used in structural application.
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
be used to build or manufacture a large range of items / products

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.
Lead, plastic. various ferrous and non ferrous metals and glass piping
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.
Electromagnets are used to separate ferrous metals (containing iron) and attracted to a magnet, from non-ferrous metals (not containing iron) which are not attracted to a magnet.
It means if they are effected by a magnet. Ferrous metals are pulled by a magnet.
The term non-ferrous is used to indicate metals other than iron and alloys that do not contain an appreciable amount of iron.
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.
