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.
A. Actually brass doesn't rust, Caren :-). Iron is an element (Fe). And rust is defined as the iron oxide corrosion products of the corrosion of iron. So if something does not contain iron (Fe), it cannot produce iron oxide, so it cannot rust.Steel is iron-based and it rusts; the rest don't.That does not mean the other metals can't tarnish or corrode, though.In fact, all metals except precious metals like gold and platinum corrode to some degree. It's just that it's not called rust. If you scratch the lead you will see that it stays bright only for a little while and then tarnishes. chose copper, lead, steel, aluminum, zinc, iron, and brass. I pretty sure that 4 of those don't rust (copper, lead, aluminum, and zinc) and 2 do (iron and steel) but I'm not sure if brass does.
