What are the conditions for the storage of steel

1.Choose a suitable site and warehouse. The site or warehouse should be located in a clean, well-drained place, away from factories and mines that produce harmful gases or dust. Weeds and all debris should be removed on the field, and the steel should be kept clean.

2.Do not stack them in the warehouse with materials that are corrosive to steel, such as acids, alkalis, salt, and cement. Different types of steel should be stacked separately to prevent confusion and contact corrosion.

3.Large section steel, steel rails, steel plates, large-diameter steel pipes, forgings, etc. can be stacked in the open air.

4.Small and medium-sized steel bars, wire rods, steel bars, medium-diameter steel pipes, steel wires and wire ropes, etc., can be stored in a well-ventilated material shed, but they must be covered up and down.

5.Some small steels, thin steel plates, steel strips, silicon steel sheets, small-diameter or thin-walled steel pipes, various cold-rolled and cold-drawn steels, and high-priced and easily corrosive metal products can be stored in the warehouse.

6.The warehouse should be selected according to geographical conditions. Generally, an ordinary closed warehouse is used, that is, a warehouse with a roof, a wall, tight doors and windows, and a ventilation device.

7.The warehouse is required to be ventilated on sunny days, shut down to prevent moisture on rainy days, and always maintain a suitable storage environment.
