This Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provides information on a specific group of manufactured metal
products. Since these metal products share a common physical nature and constituents, the data presented
are applicable to all alloys identified. This document was prepared to meet the requirements of OSHA鈥檚
Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200, the Canadian Workplace Hazardous Materials
Information System (WHMIS), and the Superfund Amendments and Preauthorization Act of 1986 Public Law
99-949. Ingredients reportable per Section 313 of SARA are marked with an (*); See Section 15 for an

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Titanium alloys exist as a silver grey solid or as a dust or fume. Exposure to dust or fume may cause irritation of the eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Fine particulates dispersed in air present an explosion hazard.
Under normal handling and use of the solid form of this material there are few health hazards. Cutting, welding, melting, grinding,
etc., of these materials will produce dust, fume, or particulate containing the component elements of these materials. Exposure to
the dust, fume, or particulate may present significant health hazards which are referable to the elemental constituents in Section 2.

3. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
INHALATION: Inhalation of metal dust, fume, or powder may result from melting, dross handling,
casting, welding, cutting, grinding, crushing, or similar operations. Inhaled particulate may irritate the
respiratory tract.
INGESTION: Hand, clothing, food, and drink contact with metal dust, fume, or powder can cause
ingestion of particulate during hand to mouth activities such as drinking, smoking, nail biting, etc.
PRIMARY Titanium is not readily absorbed through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Vanadium may cause
ROUTE(S) diarrhea and cramping. Chromium may severely irritate the GI tract and damage kidneys.
OF
SKIN: Skin contact with metal dust, fume, or powder may cause, in some sensitive individuals, an
EXPOSURE allergic response if elements such as chromium, aluminum, vanadium, and tin are present. In the
form of metal dust or powder, skin contact or abrasion may also cause irritation or dermatitis.
EYES: Particulate metal (dust, fume, or powder) can cause eye irritation and inflammation of the
conjunctiva. Avoid inserting fingers into the eye socket if the hand or clothing is contaminated with
metal particulate.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: There is some evidence that repeated inhalation of titanium dust can cause
deposits of titanium in the lungs which results in fibrotic changes. These changes have not been
shown to be carcinogenic.

unless large amounts are ingested. Obtain medical assistance at once.
Skin cuts and abrasions can be treated by standard first aid. Do not shake clothing. Skin

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
In solid form this material poses no special environmental problems. Metal powders or dusts may have significant impact on air and
water quality. Airborne emissions, spills and releases to the environment (discharge to streams, sewer systems, ground water,
surface soil, etc.) should be controlled immediately. If such potential for a spill or release exists it is advisable to develop an
emergency spill response plan.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Titanium alloys are recyclable and every measure should be made to reclaim rather than dispose. If necessary, dispose of waste
material in accordance with state or federal regulations. For specific labeling, packing, storage, transportation, and disposal
procedures, contact an Environmental Engineer or a consultant familiar with waste disposal regulations.
