  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. Non-ferrous extractive metallurgy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-ferrous_extractive...

    Non-ferrous extractive metallurgy is one of the two branches of extractive metallurgy which pertains to the processes of reducing valuable, non-iron metals from ores or raw material. [1][2][3] Metals like zinc, copper, lead, aluminium as well as rare and noble metals are of particular interest in this field, [4] while the more common metal ...

  4. Aluminium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium

    In 1954, aluminium became the most produced non-ferrous metal, surpassing copper. In the 21st century, most aluminium was consumed in transportation, engineering, construction, and packaging in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan.

    Determining the hardness of the metal using the Rockwell, Vickers, and Brinell hardness scales is a commonly used practice that helps better understand the metal's elasticity and plasticity for different applications and production processes. [28] In a saltwater environment, most ferrous metals and some non-ferrous alloys corrode quickly.

  6. Electrowinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrowinning

    Electrowinning, also called electroextraction, is the electrodeposition of metals from their ores that have been put in solution via a process commonly referred to as leaching. Electrorefining uses a similar process to remove impurities from a metal. Both processes use electroplating on a large scale and are important techniques for the ...

  7. Heat treating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_treating

    However, most non-ferrous metals, like alloys of copper, aluminum, or nickel, and some high alloy steels such as austenitic stainless steel (304, 316), produce an opposite effect when these are quenched: they soften. Austenitic stainless steels must be quenched to become fully corrosion resistant, as they work-harden significantly.
