Supplier's Category: All Non-Ferrous Metals: Titanium, Aluminum, Copper, and Brass
Non-ferrous metals — titanium, aluminum, copper, and brass — are metals without significant iron content, chosen for properties like light weight, conductivity, or corrosion resistance that ferrous metals don’t offer. Alloy and temper selection determines actual mechanical performance within each metal family.
Alloy and temper together determine actual mechanical properties far more than the base metal name alone.
- Specify exact alloy and temper (e.g., 6061-T6 aluminum), not just the metal family
- Confirm electrical or thermal conductivity requirements are met by the specific alloy, if that’s the reason for selection
- Check corrosion resistance requirements against your actual service environment, especially for marine or outdoor use

Where each metal is typically chosen
Non-ferrous metal selection tracks a specific property the application needs most.
- Aerospace and automotive: titanium and aluminum for strength-to-weight ratio
- Electrical and electronics: copper for conductivity
- Marine and plumbing hardware: brass and bronze for corrosion resistance
