ferrous materials

Ferrous metals are defined as those metals that contain iron. Non-ferrous metals do not. Iron's distinctive attribute is that it is dense, strong when mixed with carbon, abundant and easy to refine, highly susceptible to corrosion, and magnetic. Alloying iron with other elements in different proportions can mitigate or eliminate one or more of these factors.

no ferrous materials

Non-ferrous metals are those that do not contain iron, so alloy metals, which are free of iron, are also considered non-ferrous. Some examples of non-ferrous metals are aluminum, brass, copper, and tungsten steel.

Non-ferrous metals are used in a variety of applications, generally in industrial settings.

The ceramic industry is the oldest industry of humanity. Ceramic material is understood to be the product of various raw materials, especially clays, which are manufactured in the form of powder or paste (to be able to shape them in a simple way) and that when subjected to When cooked, it undergoes physical-chemical processes by which it acquires a stony consistency.

Polymers materials

Polymers or plastics are produced after a process called polymerization that consists of linking thousands of small organic molecules called monomers, or mers, through covalent bonds.

Composite material

A composite material or composite material is one formed by two or more components, so that the properties of the final material are superior to those of the components separately.
