Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Specialty steel alloys are generally not considered hazardous in the form shipped (solid bars, billets wire…) however, if your process involves grinding, melting, welding, cutting or any other process that causes a 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 our alloys. Please refer to section II titled
Hazardous Ingredients
for a list of those specific elements contained in this particular alloy 1
Potential health effects
Iron oxide: Has caused irritation of the eyes, nose and skin of excremental 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 and may cause an allergic skin rash. 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. Manganese: Inhalation of manganese fume may cause “metal fume fever” 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, trouble with memory or judgment, unstable emotions or unusual irritability. The respiratory system may also be affected by a pneumonia like illness with symptoms of coughing, fever, chills, body ache, chest pain and other common signs of pneumonia Nickel: Fumes are respiratory irritants and may cause respiratory disease, skin contact can also cause an allergic skin rash. Nickel and its compounds have been reported to cause cancer of the lungs and sinuses.
