[DCHAS-L] Machining manganese aluminum alloys

Demystify: 

I have a colleague who works with metallurgy researchers who develop experimental manganese-aluminum alloys for which there is minimal hazard, particularly toxicological, information. These alloys are machined into various shapes on mills. He is interested in developing a best practices document for this work, focusing on how to maintain good housekeeping practices, researching hazards associated with novel alloys, and engineering controls appropriate to this work.

I wonder if anyone knows of a good reference for this kind of work?

Thanks for any help with this inquiry.
