Product name
Carbon steels and Low alloyed steels.
Product Synonyms
Carbon steels and Low alloyed steels
1.2.1 Relevant identified uses
The products are used extensively in the most varying applications, especially where there are demands on e.g. high strength, high fatigue resistance, good wear resistance and good machinability However, these products have limited resistance against wet corrosion and high temperature corrosion in gases. This means that these Ovako products are used in many different industrial applications, such

SECTION 2: Hazards identification
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
Some low alloy steels contain nickel as an alloying element. Nickel is classified in EC Directive 67/548/EEC as a suspect carcinogen (category 3 – R40) and as a skin sensitizer (R43). The classification rules of

2.2 Label elements
Since these products are alloys, labeling is not required
2.3 Other hazards
There are no hazards of concern for man or the environment from carbon steels and low alloyed steels in the forms supplied. However, if an individual is already sensitized to nickel, prolonged skin contact with low alloyed steels containing nickel may result in an allergic dermatological reaction. If prolonged skin contact is involved in the processing of this product, please contact the supplier for advice. No carcinogenic effects resulting from exposure to these carbon steels and low alloyed steels have been reported, either in epidemiological studies or in tests with animals. Dust and fume may be generated during processing e.g. in welding, cutting and grinding. If airborne concentrations of dust and fume are excessive, inhalation over long periods may affect workers' health, primarily of the lungs.
