Alloys are "mixtures" of metals or non-metals in metals. They are developed to create new characteristics of the metals. Carbon (and other things) added to iron makes steel. Precise mixtures makes different sorts of steel alloy. Steel is stronger than iron and can have many characteristics which give superior properties for specific purposes. There is a virtual infinite number of alloys which could be made. Not all will have useful characteristics.

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.


Compare and contrast the two types of metal alloys?

Ferrous alloys contain iron as the base metal, while non-ferrous alloys do not. Ferrous alloys are typically magnetic and have higher strength but lower corrosion resistance compared to non-ferrous alloys. Non-ferrous alloys, on the other hand, are lighter, have better corrosion resistance, and are often used in applications where magnetic properties are not desirable.
