Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Nickel, Zinc, Copper, Aluminium

The Correct Answer is Nickel, Zinc, Copper, Aluminium.

 

  • Non-ferrous metal is a metal that does not contain iron in appreciable amounts.
  • Non-ferrous metals include aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and tin, as well as precious metals like gold and silver.
  • Non-ferrous metals have low weight (e.g. aluminum), higher conductivity (e.g. copper), non-magnetic property, or resistance to corrosion (e.g. zinc).
  • Some non-ferrous materials are also used in the iron and steel industries.
  • For example, bauxite is used as a flux for blast furnaces, while others such as wolframite, pyrolusite, and chromite are used in making ferrous alloys.

  • Pig iron is an intermediate product of the iron industry in the production of steel.
  • Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content from about 0.05% up to 3.8% by weight. 
  • Carbon steel contains iron.
