What else can I help you with?
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.]
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'.
What do you mean by ferrous and non ferrous?
The term "ferrous" typically means a kind of metal or alloy which contains iron. "Non-ferrous", naturally, means a metal or alloy which contains little or no iron. Sometimes the term non-ferrous is used to describe any sort of metal which is not steel or iron. Finally, sometimes these terms are used to identify whether or not a metal can be affected by magnets. Ferrous metals will usually respond or "stick to" a magnet whereas non-ferrous metals are not easily magnetised.

Is brass a non ferrous alloy or a non ferrous metal?

Is brass a farrous metal?

What are the only two non-white metals?
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
What are the 2 types of metal?
Two types of metals are 1. Ferrous metal 2. Non-Ferrous metal Ferrous metal are the ones which contains IRON Eg: Steel Non-Ferrous metal are the ones which does NOT contain IRON Eg: Aluminum, Brass Ferrum is the latin name for IRON
What are non ferrous metal?
These are metals and alloys that lack iron. (ferrum = iron). Brass, copper, zinc, aluminium magnesium are all non-ferrous metals.
Is copper a ferrous metal or a non-ferrous metal?
Copper is a non-ferrous metal because it does not contain iron.
What are the three main categories of metal?
1. Ferrous metal 2. Non-Ferrous metal 3. Alloys

What is ferrous metal and Non-ferrous metal and what is their difference?
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.
