non-ferrous metal

Non-ferrous metals are metals that do not contain iron. They are known for being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and excellent conductors of electricity and heat. Common examples include aluminum, copper, brass, zinc, and nickel. These metals are used in a wide range of applications such as wiring, machinery, construction, and decorative items because of their durability and resistance to rust and tarnish. Unlike steel or cast iron, non-ferrous metals are not magnetic and are often more malleable, making them versatile for manufacturing and engineering purposes.
