Ferrous

Ferrous metals include mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and wrought iron. These metals are primarily used for their tensile strength and durability Due to the high amounts of carbon used when creating them, most ferrous metals and alloys are magnetic and vulnerable to rust when exposed to the elements. . Ferrous metals make up the most recycled materials in the world.

Non Ferrous

Non-ferrous metals have a higher resistance to rust and corrosion. Because they contain no iron, they are also non-magnetic. Non-ferrous metals include aluminum, brass, copper, nickel, tin, lead, and zinc, as well as precious metals like gold and silver. While non-ferrous metals can provide strength, they are primarily used where their differences from ferrous metals can provide an advantage.
