Difference Between Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals

Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are two types of metals that have different chemical makeup. They’re both useful for many different things in your everyday life, but they also have some key differences.

Ferrous metals are those that contain iron (that is, the element Fe). Examples include steel, cast iron, wrought iron, and stainless steel. Ferrous metals contain a lot of carbon and low levels of other elements like sulfur or phosphorus.

Non-ferrous metals are those that don’t contain iron (that is, the element Fe). Examples include copper, tin, aluminum, lead and zinc. Non-ferrous metals contain more silicon than ferrous metals do, as well as other elements like boron or manganese. These elements make non-ferrous metals softer than ferrous ones—they’re easier to dent or bend without breaking if you hit them with something hard enough!

Why Use Recycled Brass & Copper

Recycled brass and copper are used in a wide variety of industries. Copper is a great material for electrical wiring because it conducts electricity well and does not corrode easily. It’s also used in many plumbing applications, like faucets and pipes. Brass is used for more decorative purposes, such as jewelry, light fixtures, and door handles.

With so many uses for recycled brass and copper, it’s no surprise that these materials are commonly found in the waste stream after they have been used in manufacturing processes. These items can be recycled again by melting them down at high temperatures so they can be reused in new products or sent back through the manufacturing process again.

Recycling scrap metal is an important way to reduce our reliance on primary resources like coal or oil because it reduces our need for new mines or drilling operations which require significant amounts of energy to operate. Recycling scrap metal also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by keeping these materials out of landfills where they would otherwise release methane gas into the atmosphere when buried underground (which would contribute to global warming).
