of aluminum, titanium, copper, magnesium, and nickel.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
• Define nonferrous metals
• Compare the composition, properties, and uses of aluminum, titanium, copper,
magnesium, and nickel alloys
• Identify some of the additional alloying elements used in nonferrous metals and the
properties they enhance
• Identify common uses of nonferrous metals
