Nonferrous metals

ABM-PAPER International General Trading

Nonferrous metals, including aluminum, nickel, lead, tin, brass, silver, and zinc, are known for their tensile strength and present characteristics that hold an advantage over ferrous metals, mainly by their malleability, lighter weight, and corrosion resistivity. As iron content is absent in nonferrous metals, the probability of rust and corrosion occurring is also fairly low. Also these types of pipes can be used in pipe networks that are prone to highly corrosive environments, such as carrying corrosive chemicals and sewerage. Therefore, usage of nonferrous metals in water pipes and gutters are very common. However, the only difference lies in accessibility of these materials, recycling efficiency, and costs.

Recycling of nonferrous metals, including aluminum, copper, brass, and lead, is relatively common due to its scarcity. Therefore, there is a heavy dependence on recycling of scrap materials in order to create new nonferrous metals. In fact, aluminum is known to be the most recycled metal, ranking third in the world. It is also this reason that the cost of nonferrous metals is also more expensive than ferrous metals, with stainless steel often being used instead, due to its cheaper cost and versatility. Consequently, nonferrous metals are mainly used in fittings of pipes, and other small applications that require strength where needed.

Nonferrous materials, can be combined to create alloys, including brass, bronze, and solder, for increased strength and flexibility without resulting in the effects of heavier weight compared to ferrous metals. The high malleable state of nonferrous metals, makes them ideal for use as they can be easily pressed into thin sheets without breaking.
