Copper is neither ferrous nor an alloy.

Copper is an element in its own right, and is in the Periodic Table.

'Ferrous' refers to IRON . from the Latin for iron ' Ferrum.

Copper can be mixed with other metals to form alloys , notably ,brass and bronze.

How are classification non ferrous alloys?

Classification of non-ferrous alloys is typically based on their primary alloying elements. Common categories include aluminum alloys, copper alloys, magnesium alloys, and titanium alloys, each with specific properties and applications. Non-ferrous alloys are distinguished from ferrous alloys by the absence of iron as the primary constituent in the alloy composition.
