Ferrous Metal

Ferrous metals include steel and pig iron (which contain a few percent of carbon) and alloys of iron with other metals (such as stainless steel.)

Non-Ferrous Metal

The term non-ferrous is used to indicate metals other than iron and alloys that do not contain an appreciable amount of iron.
