Wouldn't call Axi "non-metal" as a lot of them *are* metal. Added the actual info from epilogue, added spoiler tag.

'''Steel''' is the External Physical Pushing metal. An Allomancer burning steel can Push bits of metal away from their "center of self,"{{wob ref|13373}} and can also use steel to sense the presence of metal nearby. Steelpushing is not dependent on magnetic forces or Allomatic power--most metals (with the exception of [[aluminum]] and some of its alloys) can be Pushed. Feruchemists can use steel to store physical speed, and when used as a hemalurgic spike, steel steals Physical Allomantic powers.
 
When used in conjunction with firearms steelpushing is an incredibly powerful tool. By shooting a regular bullet and then pushing on it as it leaves the barrel the bullet can be given a large amount of force, enough to pierce straight through wood and other cover and kill anyone on the other side unexpectedly.{{book ref|mb4|prologue}}{{book ref|mb4|6}}
 
It is also possible for a skilled Allomancer to push on a specific part of a metal object.{{wob ref|10845}} They could also have better control over their Pushes, such as creating a steel bubble that deflects projectiles while not affecting the metal on the user.{{book ref|mb5|8}} Through unknown means, a Coinshot could push on non-metal objects, such as [[axi]].{{wob ref|15142}} It is possible to effect the polarity of [[Axi]] via a steelpush, under the right circumstances.{{book ref|mb7|epilogue|4}}
