Key Difference: Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are two different types of metals. This categorization is based on the iron content. In case the metal contains iron, it is known as a ferrous metal, otherwise a non-ferrous metal. Ferrous word has been derived from the Latin word ferrum which means 'contains iron'.
Some examples of non-ferrous metals are copper, zinc, nickel, brass, aluminum, and lead. They have very different properties from one another and are used for a variety of applications. What all non-ferrous metals have in common is they are not magnetic because they do not contain iron.
