B.F.R.S. (UK) Ltd - Non Ferrous Scrap

Non Ferrous Scrap

Non Ferrous metals are those metals which does not contain iron. They are not magnetic and are usually more resistant to corrosion than ferrous metals.

Most commonly used non-ferrous metals are Aluminium, Copper, Brass, Lead, Tin, Gilding Metal and Zinc.

Aluminium
Aluminium is the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust. Aluminium is remarkable for the metal's low density and for its ability to resist corrosion. Structural components made from aluminium are vital to the aerospace industry and in other areas of transportation.

Copper
Copper was the first mineral that man extracted from the earth and along with tin gave rise to the Bronze Age. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, as such one of its main industrial usage is for the production of cable, wire and electrical products for both the electrical and building industries. The construction industry also accounts for copper's second largest usage in such areas as pipes for plumbing, heating and ventilating as well as building wire and sheet metal facings.

Brass
Brass is not a pure metal but combination of Copper and Zinc. It contains 65% copper and 35% Zinc. This non-ferrous metal is very corrosive, yellow in colour, tarnishes very easily. It is harder than copper and its good electrical conductor.

Lead
Being very soft and pliable and highly resistant to corrosion, Lead was ideal for use in plumbing as well as for the manufacture of pewter. In the early 20th century the automotive industry took off and new areas of consumption of batteries and petrol created an enormous market. Ironically, environmental issues have brought about new uses for the metal, particularly in the housing of power generation units to protect against electrical charges or dangerous radiations.

Tin
Tin is a pure non-ferrous metal. It is white in colour, soft and corrosion resistant. It is used in Tinplate and making bronze.
