WHY NON-FERROUS?

WHAT IS NON-FERROUS?

Generally more expensive than ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals possess desirable properties such as lighter weight, higher conductivity, non-magnetic properties, and resistance to corrosion. Many industries require non-ferrous tools due to the magnetic qualities of ferrous tools, which can cause a projectile or missile like effect. Ferrous-based materials, nickel alloys, and most stainless steel materials are not compatible with MRI or other diagnostic imaging environments. When these materials are exposed to a strong magnetic field, they can be pulled violently toward the magnetic source. If using tools around a 1.5T magnet or higher we recommend our titanium line of tools.
