NON-FERROUS MATERIALS AND ALLOYS

          Non-ferrous metals and alloys do not contain any significant quantity of iron. The most common non-ferrous metals used in engineering applications are Copper, Aluminium, Tin, Lead, Cobalt and Zinc. Nickel, Magnesium and Antimony are also used for alloying the fore said non-ferrous metals.
