Non-ferrous metals and alloys are metallic mixtures that contain a base metal other than iron and one or more other elements. They are known for their resistance to corrosion, lightness, and non-magnetic qualities.  Here are some examples of non-ferrous metals and alloys: Copper: A non-ferrous metal that offers the best corrosion protection of the common sheath materials. Lead: A soft and malleable metal that has a low melting point and offers resistance against corrosion and the chemical environment. Lead is used in the construction of batteries and soldering.

Non-ferrous metals and alloys are metallic mixtures that contain a base metal other than iron and one or more other elements. They are known for their resistance to corrosion, lightness, and non-magnetic qualities. 

Here are some examples of non-ferrous metals and alloys:
Copper: A non-ferrous metal that offers the best corrosion protection of the common sheath materials.
Lead: A soft and malleable metal that has a low melting point and offers resistance against corrosion and the chemical environment. Lead is used in the construction of batteries and soldering.
Nickel alloys: Non-ferrous metals with high strength and toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior elevated temperature properties.
Brass: A non-ferrous alloy metal that is made up of copper and zinc. Most brass contains anywhere from 60 to 80% copper and 20 to 40% zinc.
Bronze: A non-ferrous metal that doesn't rust and is not corroded by Rust Monsters. It can be used to create any medium or light armor.
Titanium: A non-ferrous metal that is lustrous, silver-gray, and has low density, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and high corrosion resistance. 

Non-ferrous metals do not have any magnetic properties.
