Non-ferrous

Our definition of non-ferrous metals and alloys falls into the typical material science definition. These materials don’t contain any iron and in most cases are non-magnetic. They have unique properties, but it’s important to balance strength with cost and manufacturability. Non-ferrous metals can be either brazed or welded via AC TIG, since they form an oxide on the outer surface during welding. Depending on where they fall on the galvanic corrosion chart, it’s extremely important to choose metals that are closer together to avoid corrosion, especially in outdoor applications. This particular class of metals is usually preferred by architects for its high luster and raw material appearance.
