| The above listing is a summary of elements
used in alloying steels. Various grades of steel contain different
combinations of these elements. Trace elements may also be present in
minute quantities. |
| PHYSICAL DATA |
| NORMAL STATE: - SOLID |
| APPEARANCE AND COLOR: - Gray/Black with Metallic Luster and Odorless. |
| MELTING POINT: - Approximately 2750°F |
| REACTIVITY DATA |
| STABILITY - Stable Under Normal Conditions |
| SOLUBILITY: - Insoluble in Water. Will react with acids to produce various gases. |
| AWARENESS |
| BY PRODUCTS: - Inhalation of high concentration of oxide fumes
or dusts may lead to benign pneumoconiosis, lung cancer or other influenza
like illnesses. |
| EMERGENCY FIRST AID PROCEDURE: - Inhalation of fumes, remove
exposed person to fresh air. Eye and Skin contact, flush well with running
water if irritation develops. |
IF ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS CONTINUE, CONSULT A
PHYSICIAN.
|
| RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: - Use approved Dust/Fume respirator when welding or burning if OSHA PEL or TLV is exceeded. |
| EYES AND FACE: - Safety Glasses should be worn when grinding or
cutting; face shields should be worn when welding or burning.
|
| HANDS, ARMS AND BODY: - Use appropriate protective
clothing/equipment such as welders aprons and gloves when welding or
