Common Elements in Non-Ferrous Metals:
* Aluminum (Al): Used in many applications, from cans to aircraft.
* Copper (Cu): Excellent conductor of electricity and heat, used in wiring and plumbing.
* Gold (Au): Precious metal valued for its beauty and resistance to corrosion.
* Silver (Ag): Also a good conductor, used in jewelry, coins, and electronics.
* Zinc (Zn): Used in galvanizing steel to prevent rust.
* Lead (Pb): Used in batteries, pipes, and ammunition (although use is decreasing due to its toxicity).
* Tin (Sn): Used in alloys like solder and bronze.
* Nickel (Ni): Used in stainless steel, batteries, and coinage.
* Titanium (Ti): Strong and lightweight, used in aerospace and medical implants.
* Magnesium (Mg): Lightweight and strong, used in alloys and construction.
Other Elements:
* Manganese (Mn)
* Chromium (Cr)
* Tungsten (W)
* Molybdenum (Mo)
* Beryllium (Be)
Examples of Non-Ferrous Alloys:
* Brass: Copper and zinc
* Bronze: Copper and tin
* Solder: Lead and tin
* Stainless Steel: Iron, chromium, nickel
* Aluminum Alloys: Aluminum and other elements like copper, magnesium, and zinc.
Important Note: While non-ferrous metals do not contain iron as a primary component, some may contain trace amounts of iron as impurities.
