Materials
Most metals are malleable and ductile. In addition, two or more metals can be alloyed to create materials with properties that do not exist in a pure metal. All metals can be classified as either ferrous or non-ferrous. All ferrous metals are magnetic and have poor corrosion resistance, while non-ferrous metals are typically non-magnetic and have more corrosion resistance. Schontek GMS has extensive experience with the following metals:

Aluminum

General Properties: Aluminum is a soft, silvery metal this is very chemically reactive. It has very low density and is very resistant to corrosion.

  • Copper plate
  • Copper sheet foil
  • Copper block


Copper

Brass

General Properties: Brass is made up of copper and zinc. It is commonly used as decoration because of its golden appearance.
