Answer:
The word is derived from the Latin word ferrum ("iron"). Ferrous metals include steel and pig iron (with a carbon content of a few percent) and alloys of iron with other metals (such as stainless steel). "Non-ferrous" is used to describe metals and alloys that do not contain an appreciable amount of iron.
Example: Steel , copper , zinc , aluminium., etc.

What is a Ferrous Metal?
- A metal with the descriptor “ferrous” means that it has iron in its composition.
- When the term ferrous metal is used, it also usually implies that iron is a large percentage of the elemental composition.
- If it’s not the most abundant element, it would probably be the second or third most prolific.
- If a metal only contains trace amounts of iron, as many metals do, then that small amount is not considered enough to declare the metal ferrous.
