*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYES: FLUSH W/COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF CLEAN WATER. SKIN: TREAT
    CUT/ABRASIONS BY STANDARD FIRST AID. CONTAMINATION BY DUST/POWDER
    CAN BE REMOVED BY SOAP & WATER. INGESTION: DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES
    OF WATER.  INDUCE VOMITING IF CONSCIOUS. INHALATION: REMOVE TO
    FRESH AIR. IF BREAATHING STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION.
    OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL CASES.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:THESE ALLOYS ARE NONCOMBUSTIBLE. USE EXTINGUISHING
    MEDIA APPROPRIATE TO THE SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:TO EXTINGUISH A METAL POWDER FIRE USE DRY
    SAND, DRY GRAPHITE, OR OTHER CLASS D FIRE EXTINGUISHING POWDER.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:IF MATERIALS ARE REDUCED TO POWDER FORM,
    CAUTION MUST BE USED TO PREVENT FIRE/EXPLOSION. EVOLUTION OF
    HYDROGEN MAY BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:IN SOLID FORM MATERIALS POSE NO SPECIAL
    CLEAN-UP PROBLEMS. IF MATERIAL IS IN POWDER/DUST FORM, CLEAN-UP
    SHOULD BE CONDUCTED W/VACUUM SYSTEM UTILIZING A HIGH EFFICIENCY
    PARTICULATE AIR FILTRATION SYSTE M. AVOID CONTAMINATION OF AIR &
    WATER.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLE ACCORDING TO SIZE
    SHAPE/QUANTITY OF MATERIAL INVOLVED. SOLID METAL MAY REQUIRE USE OF
    HOISTS/CRANES, ETC. STORE METAL/METAL POWDER IN DRY AREA.
