5 difference between ferrous and nonferrous minerals
Answers
FERROUS MINERALS
★ these mineral contains iron ★ they help with n the development of metalogical industries ★ show high magnetic properties ★less resistant to corrosion ★ eg. iron and manganese
NON FERROUS MINERALS
★ these mineral do not contains iron
★ these play an important role in a number of engineering and electrical industries
★ do not show magnetic properties
★ more resistant to corrosion
★ eg. copper, zinc, gold
Answer:
Ferrous Metals mostly contain Iron. They have small amounts of other metals or elements added, to give the required properties. Ferrous Metals are magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion. Some examples of the ferrous metals we deal with:
Metals for recycling
Vehicle scrap metal
Demolition Site scrap metal
Metal offcuts from manufacturing industries
Non-Ferrous Metals do not contain Iron, are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals.
Some examples of Non-Ferrous Metals we deal with are:
Aluminium & Aluminium Alloys
Copper
Brass
Lead
Zinc
Stainless Steel
Electrical Cable
