Ferrous refers to materials that contain iron as their primary component. Ferrous materials are widely used in a variety of industrial applications, including construction, automotive manufacturing, and machinery production.
Ferrous materials have a number of advantages over non-ferrous materials, including their strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. However, they are also more prone to rust and may require special treatment or coatings to prevent corrosion over time. Additionally, ferrous materials are generally more expensive than non-ferrous materials, and they may be more difficult to work with due to their hardness and density.
