There are many differences between ferrous and non-ferrous metals, but the biggest difference is iron content. Ferrous metals contain iron, while non-ferrous metals like copper and bronze do not. Since both ferrous and non-ferrous metals have different properties, some will be more suitable for certain applications than others. Read on to learn more about these metal types to determine what’s right for your project or application. Ferrous metal properties Since ferrous metals contain iron, they’re susceptible to rust and corrosion when exposed to moisture. They’re also magnetic. Stainless steel and wrought iron are better long-term options when it comes to... View Article
