Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ALUMINUM DUST SHLD BE TREATED AS
NUISANCE DUST & HIGH EXPOS MAY PRODUCE IRRIT OF EYES & RESP SYS.
THE POTENTIAL FOR OVEREXP TO COPPER FUME MAY EXIST WHEN WELDING,
FLAME CUTTING, ETC ON ALLOYS CNTNG HI GH AMOUNTS OF COPPER >2.5%.
OVEREXP TO COPPER FUME CAN RESULT IN RESP IRRIT, NAUS & METAL FUME
FEVER. (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL:GRP 2B (IARC), ANTICIPATED
CARCINOGEN (NTP). COBALT: GRP 2B (IARC),LEAD:GROUP 2B (NTP).
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: INHAL/INGEST OF LEAD PARTICLES MAY
RSLT IN LEAD-INDUCED SYSTEMIC TOX. SYMPS OF LEAD POISONING INCL
ABDOMINAL CRAMPS, ANEMIA, MUSCLE WEAKNESS & HEADACHE. PRLNGD EXPOS

Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR, SEEK MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
EYES: FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. SKIN: FLUSH WITH
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. CALL MD . INGEST: GET MD IMMEDIATELY .
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:DRY POWDER (CLASS D) OR SAND.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DO NOT USE WATER OR HALOGEN ON DUST FIRES.
WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:DAMP ALUMINUM DUST MAY SPONTANEOUSLY HEAT
WITH LIBERATION OF HYDROGEN TO FORM EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES. MOLTEN AL
MAY EXPLODE ON CONTACT WITH WATER.
Spill Release Procedures:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:HALOGEN ACIDS AND SODIUM HYDROXIDE IN
CONTACT W/ALUMINUM MAY GENERATE MIXTURES OF HYDROGEN.FINELY DIVIDED
ALUMIUM WILL FORM EXPLO MIXTURES IN AIR.
Other Precautions:IT WILL ALSO FORM EXPLO MIX IN AIR IN THE PRESENCE OF
BROMATES, IODATES OR AMMONIUM NITRATE. WHEN REMELTING ALUMINUM
SCRAP, ENTRAPPED MOISTURE/THE PRESENCE OF STRONG OXIDIZERS SUCH AS
AMMONIUM NITRATE COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. (SUPP DATA)
Respiratory Protection:NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED DUST AND FUME RESPIRATOR
SHOULD BE USED TO AVOID EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF PARTICULATES WHEN
EXPOSURE EXCEEDS TLV'S.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHLD BE UTILIZIED WHEN WELD/BURN/
SAW/BRAZE/GRINDING OR MACHINING WHEN EXPOSURE EXCEEDS TLV'S.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE
UTILIZED AS REQUIRED BY THE WELDING STANDARDS.
Work Hygienic Practices:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Supplemental Safety and Health
OTHER PREC: THIS APPLIES TO THE COLLECTION OF MOISTURE IN SOW CAVITIES
AS WELL. MOISTURE MUST BE DRIVEN OFF PRIOR TO REMELTING. DO NOT
TOUCH CAST ALUMINUM WITHOUT KNOWING METAL TEMPERATURE. ALUMINUM E
