Question

What do you understand by non- ferrous minerals? Give some examples.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A non-ferrous metal in metallurgy is a metal, like alloys, which in appreciable quantities does not contain iron. Non-ferrous metals are generally more expensive than ferrous metals due to desirable properties such as low weight, higher conductivity, non-magnetic properties and corrosion resistance.

Aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, gold, titanium and zinc and alloys such as brass are important non-ferrous metals.

Answer 2

Non-ferrous minerals are the minerals that do not show any magnetic properties due to the absence of iron contents.

Explanation:

• Non-ferrous minerals are the minerals that found naturally in the earth surface that do not contain any of the iron content.
• Including the alloys, it do not have any ferrous martial in it so it doesn’t have any metallic properties.
• The examples of non- ferrous minerals are aluminum, lead, copper, nickel, titanium, tin, and zinc, and including alloys such as brass.
• Nonferrous minerals are used in the industrial and engineering sector in huge quantity like the aluminum is used in the aircraft designing.
