Scrap Metal Dealers Bishop Auckland
- Ferrous metals refer to any metal that contains iron. They are favoured for their tensile strength and durability, so are often utilised in housing construction, large-scale piping and industrial containers.
- Ferrous metals generally have a high carbon content, which as a result, makes them vulnerable to rust when exposed to the elements. However, wrought iron – which is a ferrous metal – tends to resist rust due to the fact that it contains so much iron.
- Ferrous metals are heavier than their non-ferrous counterparts.
- Non-ferrous scrap metals can be recycled time and time again.
