MATERIAL
OVERVIEW
Characteristics:
Silver-white, malleable metal. The only metal that can
be tempered. Mechanical properties are altered by
impurities, especially carbon. Iron is highly reactive
chemically, a strong reducing agent, oxidizes readily
in moist air and reacts with steam when hot to yield
hydrogen and iron oxides. Dissolves in nonoxidizing
acids (sulfuric and hydrochloric) and in cold dilute
nitric acid.
Hazards:
Tolerance (as oxide fume): 5 mg/m3 of air. Dust and fine particles suspended in air are flammable and
an explosion risk. Tolerance for soluble salts (as
Fe), 1 mg/m3
of
air.
