3. Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview
Specialty steel alloys are generally not considered hazardous in the form shipped (solid, bars, billets, rods, wire, etc.). However, if your process
involves grinding, melting, welding, cutting, or any other process that causes release of dust or fume, hazardous levels of dust or fume of the
constituents of these alloys could be generated. The following is a list of potential health effects for all hazardous elements that are possibly
contained in any of our alloys. Please refer to section II titled 鈥淗azard ingredients鈥? for a list of those specific elements contained in this particular
alloy.

Boron oxide: Has caused irritation of the
nose of experimental animals. It may have
the same effect on humans.
Chromium: Ferrochrome alloys have been
associated with lung changes in workers
exposed to these alloys.
Cobalt: Fume or dust causes irritation of
the nose and throat. Also has been reported
to cause respiratory disease with symptoms
ranging from cough and shortness of breath
to permanent disability and death. The
symptoms frequently go away when
exposure has stopped, but sometimes the
symptoms progress after exposure has
ceased.
Copper: Fume or dust causes irritation of
the nose and throat and a flu -like illness
called metal fume fever. Symptoms include
fever, muscle aches, nausea, chills dry
throat, cough, weakness, and sweet or
metallic taste in the mouth.
Hafnium: Other hafnium compounds have
caused liver damage in animals on
prolonged feeding.
Iron oxide: Repeated exposure to iron
oxide fume over a period of years may
cause x-ray changes of the lungs, but does
not cause an exposed person to become ill.
Manganese: Inhalation of manganese
fumes may cause鈥? metal fume fever鈥? with
symptoms of chills, fever, nausea, cough,
dry throat, weakness, muscle aches, and a
sweet or metallic taste in the mouth.
Prolonged or repeated exposure may affect
the nervous system, with difficulty in
walking and balancing, weakness or cramps
in the legs, hoarseness of the voice, and
trouble with memory or judgment, unstable
emotions or unusual irritability. The
respiratory system may also be affected by
pneumonia like illness with symptoms of

pneumonia.
Molybdenum: Oxides of molybdenum
have caused irritation of the nose and throat,
weight loss and digestive disturbances in
experimental animals.
Nickel: Fumes are respiratory irritants and
may cause respiratory disease. Nickel and
its compounds have been reported to cause
cancer of the lungs and sinuses.
Tantalum: Generally considered to have a
low order or toxicity but has produced
transient lesions of the lungs in
experimental animals.
Tin: Generally considered to exhibit a low
order of toxicity. May cause irritation of the

Can cause irritation of the nose, throat in
high concentrations. Slight lung changes
may occur.
*Tungsten: Metal and insoluble
compounds are generally considered to
have a low order of toxicity, but have
produced lung changes in experimental
animals.
Vanadium pentoxide: Dust and fume may
cause irritation of the nose, throat and
respiratory tract. It may also cause
bronchitis with wheezing and chest pain. A
greenish discoloration of the tongue may
occur after symptoms have occurred
following initial exposure. Repeated
exposure may cause severe symptoms of the
same nature. Repeated exposures may cause
chronic bronchitis.

8. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Ventilation Other Engineering Controls
If your process causes a release of dust or fume, use local and general NA
exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations of dust or fumes
below the TLV.
Routes of Entry: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Normal Use: PPE for Emergencies:
Eye/Face If your process involves grinding or any other action that causes the NA
release of dust or fumes, approved safety glasses or goggles should be
worn.
Skin Gloves and barrier creams may be necessary to prevent skin sensitization NA
and dermatitis.
Inhalation If your process causes a release of dust or fume in excess of the NA
permissible exposure limit, NIOSH approved respirators for protection
against airborne dust or fumes should be worn. Respirators should be
used in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134.
