COMMON WELDED BASE METALS

Metals can be classified as:
1) Ferrous
2) Non-Ferrous

Ferrous materials are the most important metals/alloys in the metallurgical and mechanical industries because of their very extensive use.
Ferrous materials finding day to day applications are:
1-Wrought Iron
2-Cast Iron
3-Carbon steels(Low,Medium and High Carbon Steels)
4-Cast Steels
5-Alloy Steels
6-Stainless Steels
Non-Ferrous materials are those that are not iron based.
Like ferrous materials non-ferrous materials also find extensive industrial applications.
Non-ferrous materials finding day to day welding applications are:
7-Alluminium and its alloys.
8-Copper and its alloys
9-Magnesium and its alloys.
10-Nickel and its alloys
11-Zinc and its alloys.
