The seamless steel tube can effectively prevent the infiltration of oxygen atoms and obtain the ability to resist corrosion, but it is not completely immune to corrosion. The surface of a seamless steel tube contains acids, alkalis, and salts, which cause local corrosion. The surface of the seamless steel tube accumulates dust containing other metal elements or attachments of dissimilar metal particles, which will cause electrochemical corrosion. Improper storage of seamless steel tubes will lead to rust, corrosion, etc., so how to store seamless steel tubes is correct? Here are some effective methods.
Choose a suitable venue and warehouse:
1. The site or warehouse where the steel is stored should be located in a clean, well-drained place, away from factories and mines that generate harmful gases or dust. Weeds and all debris should be removed from the site to keep the steel clean;
2. Do not stack with acid, alkali, salt, cement, and other materials that are corrosive to steel in the warehouse. Different varieties of steel should be stacked separately to prevent confusion and contact corrosion;
3. Large sections, rails, steel plates, large-diameter steel pipes, forgings, etc. can be stacked in the open air;
4. Small and medium-sized sections, wire rods, steel bars, medium-diameter steel pipes, steel wires, and wire ropes, etc., can be stored in a well-ventilated shed, but must be covered with pads;
5. Some small steels, thin steel plates, steel strips, silicon steel sheets, small-diameter or thin-walled steel pipes, various cold-rolled, cold-drawn steels, and metal products with high prices and easy corrosion can be stored in storage;
6. The warehouse should be selected according to geographical conditions. Generally, an ordinary closed warehouse is used, that is, a warehouse with a roof, walls, tight doors and windows, and a ventilation device;
7. The warehouse is required to pay attention to ventilation on sunny days, close it to prevent moisture on rainy days, and often maintain a suitable storage environment.
The above is the preservation method of seamless steel tube, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Tianyang Steel Tube, a seamless steel tube factory in China, provide seamless steel tubes with high quality, welcome to consult and purchase.
