What’s the Difference Between Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals? 🧲💡
Do you know the key differences between ferrous and non-ferrous metals?
Understanding these can help businesses make smarter recycling decisions.
🔧 Ferrous Metals (e.g., steel, iron):
● Magnetic 🧲
● High tensile strength 💪
● Used in construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure
(think buildings, bridges, and vehicles)
● Recyclable and widely available
⚙️ Non-ferrous metals
(e.g., aluminum, copper, zinc):
● Non-magnetic 🧲❌
● Lightweight and corrosion-resistant 🛡️
● Ideal for electrical applications, aerospace, and automotive industries
● Highly valuable for recycling, as they maintain quality even after multiple cycles
♻️ Both types of metals have significant environmental benefits when recycled—they reduce the need for mining, lower energy consumption, and cut down on greenhouse gas emissions.
