SECTION 2: Hazards identification

(Continued) Hazards not otherwise classified or not covered by GHS Respiratory disease with symptoms ranging from shortness of breath and cough to permanent disability due to loss of lung function; sensitization or hypersensitivity and fibrosis or subsequent effects on the heart may be caused by excessive exposure to dust or fumes containing cobalt, nickel, titanium, and tungsten. Central nervous system depression has been identified with excessive manganese exposure. Insoluble nickel compounds and hexavalent chromium compounds have been linked to nasal, bronchial, and lung cancers. Aluminum and iron have been indicated to cause gastro-intestinal disorders and non-significant changes in the lung. Chronic health effects specific to an element(s) may be difficult to detect due to the numerous elemental constituents in these alloys. Notice: This product and fumes generated from the normal use of this product contain Manganese. The inhalation of welding rod fumes containing Manganese has been associated with the development of serious Parkinson’s Disease-like symptoms, Parkinsonism, Manganism, and other central nervous system conditions. Such symptoms may include impaired speech, balance and movement. Avoid breathing fumes generated in the welding process by utilizing appropriate environmental controls, including but not limited to ventilation, exhaust, and respirators. WELDING HAZARDS: Welding hazards are complex. Available accident and health records show that the great majority of injuries result from physical accidents; such as from electric shock or restricted visibility/mobility, physical strains, radiation burns (such as "eye flash"), heat burns due to hot metal or spatter, or metal fume fever. THERMAL SPRAY HAZARDS: In addition to hazards associated with welding, thermal spray operations may create high noise levels, which require hearing protection. INGESTION: Amounts ingested incidental to industrial handling are not likely to cause illness. Avoid hand, clothing, food, and drink contact with metal fume, or powder which can cause ingestion of particulate during hand to mouth activities such as drinking, smoking, nail biting, etc. Ingestion of large doses may cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. SKIN: Skin contact with welding fume or metal powder residue may cause irritation and in some sensitive individuals an allergic dermatitis. See Table 5 for additional information. EYES: Welding fume may cause eye irritation. Welding arc rays (ultraviolet light) can injure eyes. HAYNES® and HASTELLOY® are registered trademarks of Haynes International, Inc.
