=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. EYES: FLUSH THOROUGHLY
    W/WATER TO REMOVE PARTICULATE. SKIN: REMOVE PARTICLES BY WASHING
    THOROUGHLY W/SOAP & WATER. INGESTION: OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN
    ALL CASES.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:FOR MOLTEN METAL USE DRY POWDER OR SAND. DONT' USE
    WATER ON MOLTEN METAL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:FINE METAL PARTICLES SUCH AS PRODUCED IN
    GRINDING/SAWING CAN BURN. HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF METALLIC FINES IN
    THE AIR MAY PRESENT AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:FINE TURNINGS & SMALL CHIPS SHOULD BE SWEPT OR
    VACUUMED. SCRAP METAL CAN BE RECLAIMED FOR RE-USE.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:ARC OR SPARK GENERATED WHEN WELDING OR
    BURNING COULD BE A SOURCE OF IGNITION FOR COMBUSTION & FLAMMABLE
    MATERIAL.
Other Precautions:METALLIC DUST OR FUMES MAY BE PRODUCED DURING
    WELDING, BURNING, GRINDING, & POSSIBLE MACHINING. AVOID GENERATION
    OF AIRBORNE FUME & DUST.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:APPROPRIATE DUST/MIST/FUME RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE
    USED TO AVOID EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF PARTICULATES. IF EXPOSURE
    LIMITS ARE REACHED OR EXCEEDED, USE NIOSH APPROVED EQUIPMENT.
Protective Gloves:AS REQUIRED
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES, FACE SHIELDS
Other Protective Equipment:AS REQUIRED
Supplemental Safety and Health
MELTING POINT BASE METAL:  2800F. MELTING POINT METALLIC COATING: 800F.
