Write four advantages and four disadvantages of ferrous and non-Ferrous alloys

Solution

Advantages of ferrous alloys:

1. High strength to weight ratio
compared to Non-metals
2. Heavier than Aluminum and
Titanium Alloys
3. High quality and durable
material
4. Recyclable and
environmentally friendly

5..Machine-ability Affected by magnetic field

disadvantages of ferrous alloys:

1.Prone to corrosion by rusting
(except stainless steel)

2.Requires more energy to form
into shapes or re-work
compared to Aluminum Alloys

advantage of non ferrous alloy:

Disadvantages of non ferrous alloys:
