Mild steel is  a non-ferrousa ferrousan alloya composite metal.   It is commonly used for furniture legs, because of its  elasticitytensile strengthcompressive strengthductility that makes it easy to form into desirable shapes.    Mild steelStainless steelBrassLow-carbon steel is a ferrous metal.   This metal has a high  toughnessdurabilitytensile strengthheat conductivity, making it long-lasting and wear resistant, making it an idea material selection for industrial kitchens.   Tin is  a ferrousa compositea non-ferrousan alloy metal. It is a very malleable material, which is why it is used for  furnituremachine componentswatch mechanismssolder.   Titanium is   a ferrousa compositea non-ferrousan alloy metal. It is used for medical implants because it has a very high  corrosion resistancecompressive strengthmalleabilityductility.    Mild steelCast iron7000 series aluminiumLow-carbon steel is a non-ferrous metal that is heat treatable and has a high  masstoughnesscorrosion resistanceelasticity. It is commonly used for small gears and coatings.   Tungsten steel is   a mixturean alloya compositea ferrous metal of tungsten and any steel.  It has a  low densityhigh hardnesslow magneticlow hardness property that makes it suitable for high-speed cutting tools.   High-carbon steel is  a compositea ferrousan alloya non-ferrous metal.   It has a very high hardness, making it difficult to cut. For this reason it is used for  clock mechanismschiselschair legsbuilding structures.   Only  modernsmartnon-ferrousferrous metals are magnetic, because they contain iron.
