- Properties and Uses of Non-Ferrous metals
- Aluminium (pure)
- Good strength to weight ratio, light, soft, ductile, gd conductor of h and e
- Melting point = 660 C
- Kitchen equipment, window frames, general cast components
- Tin (pure)
- Soft, weak, malleable, ductile and resistant to corrosion
- Melting point = 230 C
- Ususally used for coating steel to form tin-plate, soft solder
- Copper (pure)
- Melting point = 1080 C
- Water pipes, electrical wire, decorative goods
- Malleable, ductile, gd conductor of h and e, resistant to corrosion
- Brass (alloy)
- Resistant to corrosion, fairly hard, gd conductor of h and e
- Ornaments, cast items such as water taps
- Melting point = 900-1000 C
- Aluminium (pure)
