SECTION 2: Hazards identification

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF HAZARDS: Nickel-Chrome-Moly alloys do not present a hazard to human health and are not classified as hazardous. As shipped, Nickel-Chrome-Moly alloys in solid form have no known toxicological properties other than causing allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to the metals contained in the alloys. Hazardous fume or dust emissions may be released during remelting, grinding, cutting or welding or when in powder form. The classifications below are related to exposure to the hazardous fume or dust emissions generated when remelting, grinding, cutting or welding or when in powder form. Carcinogenicity – Category 1A Skin Corrosion/Irritation – Category 1 Sensitization – Respiratory – Category 1 Acute Toxicity (Inhalation) – Category 4

2.2 Label elements

Signal Words – DANGER

Hazard statements

Harmful if swallowed Causes skin irritation May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled May cause an allergic skin reaction May cause cancer

Precautionary statements

2.3 Other hazards

Dust/powders may present an explosion hazard if allowed to accumulate in an industrial or manufacturing environment. Coatings and oils applied to the product may enhance flammability. Individuals who may have had an allergic reaction or sensitivity to metals such as chromium, copper, cobalt and nickel may encounter skin rash or dermatitis if skin contact with this product occur. Persons with impaired pulmonary function, airway diseases and conditions such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis etc. may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of dust or fume are inhaled. If prior damage or disease to the Neurologic (nervous), Circulatory, Hematologic (blood) or Renal (kidneys) systems has occurred, proper screening or examinations should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use of these materials cause excessive exposure.
