Inside the Psyche of Shaun Morgan. By Leslie Terhorst. I decided to video tape my interview with Shaun Morgan front man/writer/guitarist. Of coarse, I ran out of memory, and didnât get the last 10 minutes on tape. Thatâs coolâ¦The pen is mightier than the camera.
The simple answer is that ferrous metals contain iron and non-ferrous metals do not. The more in-depth answer is that ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals each have their own distinctive properties. These properties determine the applications they are most suited for.
Generally more expensive than ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals are used because of desirable properties such as low weight (e.g. aluminium), 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 flux for blast furnaces, while others such as wolframite, pyrolusite and chromite are used in making ferrous alloys.
