Product details
Non-ferrous metals are used in countless manufacturing applications. You can find them in airplane fuselages as well automotive engines, fasteners, wiring kits, building roofs, pipes and more. Unlike ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals contain any meaningful amount of iron. They are characterized by the presence of little or no iron. And without any meaningful amount of iron, non-ferrous metals offer several benefits. Non-ferrous metals are rustproof. They can still corrode, but they can’t rust. Rusting is the result of iron being exposed to oxygen. When iron is exposed to oxygen, it converts to a new compound known as rust oxide, which is simply rust. Rusting, however, is exclusive to iron. Only iron, as well as iron alloys, can rust. Since non-ferrous metals contain little or no iron, they are protected from this phenomenon.
