Non-ferrous metals

In metallurgy, a non-ferrous metal is a metal, including alloys, that does not contain iron (ferrite) in appreciable amounts. Generally more costly than ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals are used because of desirable properties such as low weight (e.g. aluminium), higher conductivity (e.g. copper), non-magnetic property or resistance to corrosion (e.g. zinc). 

 

Some non-ferrous materials are also used in the iron and steel industries. For example, bauxite is used as flux for blast furnaces while others such as wolframite, pyrolusite and chromite are used in making ferrous alloys. Important non-ferrous metals include aluminium, copper, lead, nickel, tin, titanium and zinc and alloys such as brass. 

 

Precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum and exotic or rare metals such as cobalt, mercury, tungsten, beryllium, bismuth, cerium, cadmium, niobium, indium, gallium, germanium, lithium, selenium, tantalum, tellurium, vanadium and zirconium are also non-ferrous. They are usually obtained through minerals such as sulfides, carbonates and silicates. Non-ferrous metals are usually refined through electrolysis.

  • Unique characteristics : Non-ferrous materials are used because of their low weight (aluminium), high conductivity (copper), or resistance to corrosion and non-magnetic property (zinc). The last two properties distinguish them from ferrous materials such as steel.

  • Utilisation : Non-ferrous metals are essential for mechanical engineering, transport, aerospace, construction, packaging, electricity and energy, electronics, and medical devices.

Non-Ferrous Re-Smelting

Recycling and pollution control

 

Due to their extensive use, non-ferrous scrap metals are usually recycled. The secondary materials in scrap are vital to the metallurgy industry as the production of new metals often needs them. Some recycling facilities re-smelt and recast non-ferrous materials; the dross is collected and stored onsite while the metal fumes are filtered and collected. Non-ferrous scrap metals are sourced from industrial scrap materials, particle emissions and obsolete technology (e.g. copper cables) scrap.

Metals & Ore Trading

We have began to the business as a metals, ores and alloys trading / distribution company. The company was established with the objective of providing globally sourced metals, ores and alloys to smelters, foundries and fabricating mills. We have specific expertise in the raw materials that make steel.

The company’s network of global suppliers has been an important part of its success. Strong relationships established in many years, have enabled us to discover, design and deliver according to specific customer needs. ETUGEN TRADE DMCC physical trading expertise in non-ferrous metals has been accompanied with trading on the LME. (London Metal Exchange) Flexibility in pricing through hedging has also been an important part of the company’s success and has helped customers and suppliers to widen their profit margins.

Non-ferrous metals are important for the manufacturing industries, sustainability and economic growth. They are irreplaceable for many products in the automotive, aerospace, mechanical engineering and construction sectors. Their unique thermal, electrical and isolating characteristics coupled with endless recyclability and low weight make them indispensable to achieving the energy and resource efficiency goals of the countries.

Our company also has deep knowledge of transportation and logistics operations and utilizes that expertise to enhance trading operation. We are acting as business partner for various suppliers around the globe and as exclusive territory distributor for specific metals and ores.

Precious metals are processed in a wide range of industries and are used to produce other products while in modern industrial manufacturing they have long been irreplaceable.

Today more precious metals are required than the earth can provide in the future. To recover metals from waste to conserve resources and to protect the environment refining is much more useful than new mining operations. Refineries are providing the complete cycle from the recycling of precious metals to their re-use or further processing.

Both ferrous and non-ferrous metals are characterised by their almost unlimited and complete recycling abilities. For this reason the recycled materials are increasingly used in metal production. This secondary raw material enables us a particularly resource-gentle and an economic manufacturing. ​ETUGEN TRADE DMCC is a major supplier / exporter of all kinds of scrap products to the factories and end buyers in the worldwide. We always invite the scrap buyers and their experts to our stockyards for inspection and negotiations.
