Answer:

On a chemical level, the main difference is that ferrous metals contain iron, while non-ferrous metals do not. Ferrous metals are also magnetic. They are more vulnerable to rust and corrosion when exposed to the elements (except for wrought iron, which contains so much iron that it resists oxidisation altogether).

The simple answer is that ferrous metals contain iron and non-ferrous metals do not. The more in-depth answer is that ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals each have their own distinctive properties. These properties determine the applications they are most suited for.

Non-ferrous metals have been used since the beginning of civilization. The discovery of copper in 5,000 BC marked the end of the Stone Age and the beginning of the Copper Age. The later invention of bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, started the Bronze Age.
