| SECTION 2: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION | |
ALUMINUM: NOT GENERALLY REGARDED AS SERIOUS INDUSTRIAL HEALTH HAZARD
COLUMBIUM (NIOBIUM): NO REPORTS OF HUMAN INTOXICATION
CHROMIUM:
THE DUSTS OF CHROMIUM METAL ARE USUALLY REPORTED TO BE RELATIVELY
NONTOXIC, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE REPORTS OF SKIN ULCERS, USUALLY ON HANDS,
OR A PERFORATED NASAL SEPTUM. SOME INSOLUBLE CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS ARE
SUSPECT CARCINOGENS
IRON: SIDEROSIS, NO FIBROSIS.
MOLYBDENUM:
IRRITATION TO THE NOSE AND THROAT, WEIGHT LOSS, AND DIGESTIVE DISTURBANCES
IN ANIMALS. NO INDUSTRIAL POISONING HAS BEEN REPORTED.
NICKEL:
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND PNEUMONITIS. SEVERAL NICKEL COMPOUNDS, INCLUDING
NICKEL OXIDE, ARE SUSPECT LUNG AND NASAL CARCINOGENS.
TANTALUM:
NO SYSTEMIC EFFECTS FROM INDUSTRIAL EXPOSURE HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN HUMANS.
TIN:
DUST OF TIN OXIDES HAS CAUSED PNEUMONOCONIOSIS, WHICH IS RELATIVELY BENIGN.
TITANIUM: GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE IN THE NUISANCE DUST CATEGORY.
VANADIUM:
IRRITANT TO THE CONJUNCTIVAE AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. MAY LEAD TO PULMONARY
INVOLVEMENT. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF POISONING ARE PALLOR,
GREENISH-BLACKDISCOLORATION OF THE TONGUE, COUGH, CONJUNCTIVITIS, PAIN IN
THE CHEST, BRONCHITIS, RALES AND RHONCHI, BRONCHOSPASM, TREMOR OF THE
FINGERS AND ARMS, AND RADIOGRAPHIC RETICULATION.
ZIRCONIUM:
STUDIES OF SEVERAL ZIRCONIUM COMPOUNDS CONCLUDE THAT ZIRCONIUM IS AN
ELEMENT OF LOW TOXICITY.
NOTE:
SOME FUME CONSTITUENTS POSE MORE POTENTIAL HAZARDS THAN OTHERS, DEPENDING
UPON THEIR INHERENT TOXICITY AND CONCENTRATION. OF SPECIAL CONCERN ARE
CHROMIUM, VANADIUM, NICKEL AND POSSIBLY TITANIUM. IT IS ADVISED THAT YOUR
PARTICULAR OPERATION BE EVALUATED BY A COMPETENT HEALTH PROFESSIONAL TO
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT A HAZARD EXISTS.

| SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES | |
SKIN CONTACT:
IF IRRITATION DEVELOPS, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING, WASH SKIN WITH SOAP
AND WATER. IF IRRITATION PERSISTS SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE CONTACT: IN CASE OF IRRITATION, FLUSH WITH WATER FOR 15 MINUTES.
INHALATION:
IF EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE LEVELS OF METAL FUMES, IMMEDIATELY REMOVE
INDIVIDUAL FROM CONTAMINATED AREA TO FRESH AIR. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
| SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
NON-FLAMMABLE: WELDING ARC AND SPARKS CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLES.
AUTO-IGNITION TEMPERATURE (F):
2200 DEGREES FOR METAL IN THE AIR, 480 DEGREES FOR POWDER IN AIR.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: DRY TABLE SALT OR TYPE D FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
ISOLATE THE BURNING MATERIAL; ALLOW FIRE TO BURN OUT. FIRE CAN BE
CONTROLLED BY COVERING WITH DRY SALT OR POWDER FROM TYPE D EXTINGUISHER.
WEAR A REFLECTIVE HEAT RESISTANT SUIT.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS:
WATER APPLIED TO BURNING TITANIUM, CHIPS, OR POWDER MAY CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
CARBON DIOXIDE AND NITROGEN ARE NOT EFFECTIVE IN EXTINGUISHING TITANIUM OR
TITANIUM ALLOY FIRES.
| SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES: NO SPECIAL PROCEDURE.
| SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
HANDLING AND STORAGE:
MACHINING OF TITANIUM ALLOYS MAY RESULT IN FINE TURNINGS, CHIPS OR DUST.
ANY MATERIAL WITH A DIMENSION LESS THAN .001" IS FLAMMABLE AND SHOULD BE
KEPT AWAY FROM ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION.
EYE PROTECTION:
USE FACE SHIELD (8" MINIMUM) OR GOGGLES WHEN BURNING, OR GRINDING. WHEN
WELDING, USE A HOOD PROVIDING FULL FACE COVERAGE FOR PROTECTION FROM
ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION.
VENTILATION:
VENTILATION, AS DESCRIBED IN THE INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION MANUAL PRODUCED BY
THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS, SHOULD BE
USED TO MAINTAIN CONCENTRATION OF AIR CONTAMINANT STANDARDS.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
A PROPERLY-FITTED NIOSH-APPROVED, DUST FUME RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE WORN
DURING WELDING OR BURNING, WHEN AIR CONTAMINANT LEVELS EXCEED OSHA
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVELS (PELS) OR ACGIH THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES (TLVS).
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION STANDARD (29 CFR 1910.134) AND OTHER APPLICABLE
REGULATIONS.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
USE APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR PROTECTION OF EXPOSED SKIN AREAS
FROM HEAT, SPARKS AND ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION DURING FORGING, GRINDING, AND
WELDING.
