The biggest difference between ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal is that while ferrous scrap metal may contain iron, non-ferrous metal does not. One of the most widely-recycled scrap metals, steel, is an example of a ferrous scrap metal. Other examples of ferrous scrap metal include light & cast iron. Ferrous metals are usually much more bulky than non-ferrous metals.
Copper, brass, and bronze alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity as well as good corrosion resistance, ductility, and strength. Copper is a reddish orange, soft, and malleable (low hardness) metal that is a good conductor of heat and electricity.
