Most metals produced today are non ferrous. The properties of non-ferrous metals make them easier to work with, allowing designers to explore a wide range of possibilities that would have been impossible with steel.

There are many properties that non-ferrous metals are more effective then steel including resistance to corrosion, conductivity, lighter in weight, better endurance at high temperatures, or even just better looking.

Non-ferrous metals are often more expensive than steel but these metals’ qualities justify the expensive price.
