What are ferrous metals?

Ferrous metals are metals that contain iron as their primary component. They often have small amounts of other metals or elements added to enhance specific properties like strength, durability, or resistance to corrosion. Alloys of iron, such as wrought iron, cast iron, and various types of steel (carbon, alloy, tool), are the most widely used metals in industry and construction.
