Non-ferric metals
  1. Do not contain iron
    1. More expensive, difficult to obtain
      1. Better resistance to rust and corrosion, higher conductivity, lower melting point, easier to mechanize
        1. pure non-ferric metals
          1. heavy
            1. Zinc
              1. Bluish white, soft, resists rust and corrosion
