• Iron. This metal can be used for a variety of purposes. Wrought iron is often used in the manufacture of ornamental gates, railing and balustrades. Cast iron is regularly used in the production of pipes, valves, and pumps. Iron is not resistant to corrosion and therefore it will rust if exposed.
• Steel. This is an alloy of iron with carbon or other elements such as nickel, chromium, vanadium, and copper. There are many different types of steel, all of which have different properties and uses. Stainless steel is a type of steel that is extremely resistant to corrosion. This is because stainless steel contains a high percentage of chromium which acts as a passive film to protect the underlying metal and even has the incredible ability to self-heal its surface. Steel is used in a number of different projects because of its high tensile strength and relatively low cost. Many types of steel are tough and durable enough to be used in ships, trains and weapons and steel is often used in civil engineering and manufacturing.
• Non-ferrous metals. These include such metals as aluminium, nickel, lead, tin, brass, silver. and zinc. Non-ferrous metals are known for their tensile strength and their resistance to corrosion. They are also usually lighter than ferrous metals and have a higher malleable state which means that they can be pressed into thin sheets without breaking. Due to these properties, non-ferrous metals are suitable to be used to manufacture pipes that will be exposed to extreme conditions such as carrying sewage or corrosive chemicals.
