Note: The above listing is a summary of elements used in alloying steel. Various grades of steel will contain different combinations of these elements. Trace elements may also be present in minute amounts.

*Carbon Steel: The light coating applied to our products does not contain toxic materials such as mercury, arsenic or lead.

Effects Of Overexposure:

Acute: Dust or fume may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, or throat; may leave metallic taste in mouth; result in metal fume fever; or produce flu-like symptoms.
