Distinguish between ferros and non ferros minerals |
|
Answer» Explanation: On a chemical level, the main difference is that FERROUS metals contain iron, while non-ferrous metals do not. Ferrous metals are also MAGNETIC. They are more VULNERABLE to RUST and corrosion when EXPOSED to the elements (except for wrought iron, which contains so much iron that it resists oxidisation altogether). There is also a big difference in weight: non-ferrous metals, like aluminium, copper and brass, are much lighter than ferrous metals, like carbon steel, cast iron and wrought iron |
