Kwi-metallurgy kunye ne-Foundry industry, i-metal non-ferrous zisinyithi okanye i-alloys ezingenayo i-iron (i-ferrite) kwiimali ezixabisa. Xa kuthelekiswa nesinyithi, iintsimbi ezingenayo intsimbi zineenzuzo ezininzi zobunzima obuphantsi (umzaluminiyam), ukuqhuba okuphezulu (umzubhedu), ipropathi engeyiyo eyemagnetic okanye ukuxhathisa ukubola (umzizinki). Ezona ntsimbi zisetyenziswa ngokubanzi ezingezizo i-ferrous ukwenza i-aluminium, ikopolo, i-nickel, i-chrome, i-molybdenum, i-manganese, i-magnesium kunye ne-zinc, kunye ne-alloys ezifana nobhedu. Iintsimbi ezingenayo i-ferrous zivame ukucocwa nge-electrolysis. Uninzi lwetsimbi ezingenayo intsimbi zongezwa kwintsimbi ngaphambi kokugalela ukugalela ukufumana intsimbi ye-alloy okanye isinyithi esikhethekileyo esinemisebenzi enqwenelekayo efana nokunganyangeki, ukuxhathisa kwe-corrosion, ukumelana nokushisa ... njl njl.
