2. Non-ferrous metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-ferrous_metal

   In metallurgy, non-ferrous metals are metals or alloys that do not contain iron (allotropes of iron, ferrite, and so on) in appreciable amounts.. Generally more costly than ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals are used because of desirable properties such as low weight (e.g. aluminium), higher conductivity (e.g. copper), [1] non-magnetic properties or resistance to corrosion (e.g. zinc). [2]

3. Stellite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellite

   Stellite alloys are a family of completely non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant cobalt alloys of various compositions that have been optimised for different uses. Stellite alloys are suited for cutting tools, an example is Stellite 100, because this alloy is quite hard, maintains a good cutting edge at high temperature, and resists hardening and annealing.

4. Elinvar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elinvar

   Palladium-based non-magnetic Elinvar alloy [citation needed] The largest use of Elinvar was in balance springs for mechanical watches and chronometers . A major cause of inaccuracy in watches and clocks was that ordinary steels used in springs lost elasticity slightly as the temperature increased, so the balance wheel would oscillate more ...

5. Austenitic stainless steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austenitic_stainless_steel

   Such steels are not hardenable by heat treatment and are essentially non-magnetic. [2] This structure is achieved by adding enough austenite-stabilizing elements such as nickel, manganese and nitrogen. [citation needed] The Incoloy family of alloys belong to the category of super austenitic stainless steels. [3]

6. Monel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monel

   Monel's corrosion resistance makes it ideal in applications such as piping systems, pump shafts, seawater valves, trolling wire, and strainer baskets. Some alloys are completely non-magnetic and are used for anchor cable aboard minesweepers [9] or in housings for magnetic-field measurement equipment. In recreational boating, Monel is used for ...

7. Nickel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel

   Nickel is a silvery-white metal with a slight golden tinge that takes a high polish. It is one of only four elements that are ferromagnetic at or near room temperature; the others are iron, cobalt and gadolinium. Its Curie temperature is 355 °C (671 °F), meaning that bulk nickel is non-magnetic above this temperature.
