What are the requirements for the storage environment of stainless steel strips

source:www.cnlichao.net  |  Release time:2026年05月18日
      The core of stainless steel strip preservation is constant temperature, low humidity, cleanliness, isolation, and protection from light and rain to prevent damage and corrosion of the passivation film.
1、 Temperature and humidity control (most critical)
      Temperature: 5-30 ℃, 15-25 ℃, avoid sudden cooling and heating.
      Relative humidity: ≤ 60%, 40% -50%; Dehumidifier for rainy season/coastal use.
      Strictly prohibit condensation: The temperature difference between day and night should be less than 10 ℃ to prevent surface condensation from causing white rust/yellow spots.
2、 Venue and Environment
      The warehouse must be enclosed indoors and must not be exposed to the outdoors, rain, or direct sunlight.
      Stay away from: salt spray, acidic and alkaline gases, chlorine gas, sulfur dioxide, oil fume, dust.
      Prohibition of mixing: acid, alkali, salt, cement, carbon steel (iron ion pollution), galvanized parts.
      Ground: flat and dry, with smooth drainage and no debris or metal fragments.
3、 Stacking requirements
      Cushion height: ≥ 15cm above the ground (steel frame/cushion wood), ≥ 30cm above the wall.
      Isolation: Different materials (304/316/430) are partitioned to avoid contact corrosion.
      Layering: Single layer priority; Multiple layers should have sufficient load-bearing capacity and be equipped with soft isolation to prevent scratches.
      Storage time: 3-6 months to reduce long-term storage risks.
4、 Packaging and Protection
      The original packaging (waterproof paper/moisture-proof film) should not be disassembled in advance.
      High gloss/mirror/brushed surface: with protective film to prevent dust, fingerprints, and scratches.
      Handling: Soft lifting equipment, direct contact with steel wire ropes is prohibited to avoid collision.
5、 Daily management
      Ventilation: Open windows on sunny days and close windows on rainy days to prevent moisture.
      Inspection: Weekly inspection of packaging, condensation, and rust; Slight condensation should be air dried in a timely manner.
      Cleaning: Do not wipe with acid or alkali, use neutral cleaner and soft cloth.
6、 Common risks
      High humidity+condensation → white rust/yellow spots
      Carbon steel contact → iron ion contamination → pitting corrosion
      Salt spray/chloride ions → Passivation film damage → Corrosion
      Surface scratches → Protection failure
