3. Hazards identification
At present, we have no effective information on hazards identification under general conditions. However, the fumes resulting from welding, autogenous cutting, etc. and the fine particles resulting from grinding, etc. may irritate the respiratory organs, the mucous membrane of the eye, etc. Burns may result from arcing. Moreover, cutting chips or the like may be injurious to the skin.
4. First-aid measures
After receiving the first-aid measure requied, consult a physician if necessary. Examples of first-aid measures are given below.
- If respiration becomes difficult due to fumes or the like, apply a respiratory aid and consult a physician immediately.
- When a burn is caused by arcing or the like, cool the affected part and receive medical treatment if necessary.
- If the mucous membrane of the eye or the like is irritated by fumes, fine particles, etc., wash the affected part with water and consult a physician immediately.
- When the skin is injured by cutting chips or the like, keep the wound clean and receive medical treatment if necessary.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Fine particles may be combustible and explosive.
6. Accidental release measures
As the product is a solid, it is not released under general conditions.
7. Handling and storage
Avoid unnecessary wetting with water, contact with acids and high-temperature and high-humidity environments. In the case of heavy product, take precautions to prevent the possibility of falling.
8. Exposure controls / personal protection
At present, we have no effective information on exposure controls and personal protection under general conditions. When performing welding, autogenous cutting, grinding, cutting, etc., wear masks, goggles, gloves, work clothes, etc. for prevention of fume inhalation and irritation to the mucous membrane and for protection from arcs and cutting chips.
9. Physical and chemical properties
[Physical state]
A silver-white solid under general conditions
[Physical properties]
Fusion point: 1,455 ~ 1,535°C
Density: Approx.7.7~8.0 g/cm3
10． Stability and reactivity
The product is stable with low reactivity under general conditions. However, rust may appear if the product comes into contact with water or an oxidizing substance. This rusting may be accompanied with a deficiency of oxygen or the generation of hydrogen.
11． Toxicological information
At present, we have no effective epidemiological information on the toxicological (health) effects of this steel product. For some of alloying elements, however, toxicological effects may be pointed out, for example, in cases where the concentration of respective element exceeds a certain level (e.g., allowable concentration) during the operations described in Section 8. The toxicological information is obtained from, for example, the ICSC (supervised by the Environmental Health Bureau, Ministry of Health and Welfare), etc
12． Ecological information
At present, we have no effective ecological information. For some of alloying elements, however, environmental effects may be pointed out. The ecological information is obtained, for example, from the ICSC(supervised by the Environmental Health Bureau, Ministry of Health and Welfare). etc.
13. Disposal considerations
Basically, disposal is entrusted to legally approved industrial waste management contractors. If there is any substance adhering to the waste to be disposed of, the contractor is selected, paying attention to the adhering substances.
14. Transport information
In the case of heavy product, exercise care for prevention of load shifting. It is desirable to cover the product with tarpaulin or the like to prevent infiltration of rain water, etc.
15. Regulatory information
No specific information
