In the 100 elements available to us, about three quarters can be classified

as metals. And, about half of these are of at least some industrial or

commercial importance. Metals, be they pure or alloy, can be further defined

as being ferrous or nonferrous in make up. Ferrous alloys are those in which

the base or primary metal is iron, manganese, chromium. All other metallic

materials automatically fall into the non-ferrous category(

在人类可获得的一百多种元素中，约四分之三是金属。而这些金属中又大约有一半至

少在工业或商业上具有一定的重要性。所有的金属，不管是纯金属还是合金，都能根

据成分进一步分成黑色金属或有色金属。黑色金属主要是以铁、锰、铬为主要成分的
