What is non-ferrous metal?

Non-ferrous metals are the names of all kinds of metals and alloys, which are non-ferrous metals, except iron and the alloy of iron. Includes silver, gold, zinc, copper, and many other non-ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metal is a metal with colors such as yellow, copper, gray (silver), .... Non-ferrous metals are not as black as ferrous metals.
Non-ferrous metal (non-ferrous metal): is the name of all metals and alloys, except iron and iron alloys.

By convention, non-ferrous metals are divided into the following groups:

Precious metals (gold, silver and platinum group); hard-melting metal;
Light metals (aluminum, magnesium, titanium), specific gravity 1.7 - 4.5 g / cm3;
Scattered metal; Rare-earth metals (rare elements), including a large group of non-ferrous metals.
Heavy metals (copper, zinc, tin, lead, nickel), specific gravity 4.5 - 11.3 g / cm3;

Characteristics and properties of non-ferrous metals

Applied in modern industry, non-ferrous metals are widely used and play an important role because of the following special properties:
- The melting point is not very high, so it is possible to cook and cast into different shaped parts quite easily.
- Good technology: Easy to cast, easy to deform such as scissors, inlaid, forged, rolled, cut into objects with different sizes.
- High resistance to corrosion and abrasion. Some non-ferrous metals have good chemical properties, do not rust, are used in the chemical industry.
- Has very low mechanical strength.
- Having a higher price than other types of scrap.
- Good electrical and thermal conductivity.

Non-ferrous metals include the following types:

Titanium is widely used in chemistry, shipbuilding, electricity, kerosene, metallurgy, paper and textile.
Copper: widely used in construction architecture, shipbuilding industry, biology industry, transportation vehicles, microprocessor circuits and power transmission.
Large size copper pipe.
Aluminum is widely used in construction architecture: making windows and window frames, boats, railings, elevator floors, manufacturing vehicle bodies ...
Making aluminum wheels.
Titanium.
Nikel: a chemical element, it is a bright silver-white metal with a slight yellow tinge. Nickel is the most abrasive resistant metal, used in alloys such as coin making, magnets, and other applications.
The most rare and expensive metals in the world

These are the non-ferrous metals mentioned in the following order: Rhodium, platinum, gold are among the world's most valuable and rare metals, which are most widely used in many industries.
