Non-ferrous metals have many characteristics that make them useful in a variety of applications, including:

• Non-magnetic: Non-ferrous metals are not magnetic. 
• Corrosion resistance: Non-ferrous metals resist corrosion and do not rust like iron and steel. 
• Good conductors: Non-ferrous metals are good conductors of electricity and thermal energy. 
• Low density: Non-ferrous metals have lower densities than other metals. 
• Malleable and ductile: Non-ferrous metals are malleable and ductile, making them easy to shape and fabricate. 
• Colorful: Non-ferrous metals are often more colorful than ferrous metals, making them aesthetically appealing. 
• Long-lasting: Non-ferrous metals often last a long time. 
• Lightweight: Non-ferrous metals are lighter than ferrous metals. 

Non-ferrous metals are used in many applications, including:industrial piping, gutters, roofing, electrical applications, aircraft, and jewelry. 

Non-ferrous metals are relatively scarce, so it's important to recycle them. Recycling scrap metal helps to reduce waste, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and protect the environment
