Storing aluminum alloy fences requires attention to several details to ensure their quality and performance are not affected.
1. Storage Environment: Choose a dry, well-ventilated indoor environment, avoiding moisture and humidity. A relative humidity of 50%-70% is ideal, as a humid environment can cause oxidation and corrosion spots on the aluminum surface.
2. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged direct sunlight will raise the temperature of the aluminum, accelerating surface oxidation and deformation. Store aluminum in a shaded area, such as a cool part of a warehouse.
3. Categorized Storage: Aluminum of different specifications, models, and surface treatments should be stored separately to prevent collisions and scratches. For example, anodized aluminum should be stored separately from untreated aluminum to avoid surface damage.
4. Prevent Heavy Pressure: Avoid stacking too many layers of aluminum. Place cushioning materials, such as wooden boards or rubber pads, between layers to prevent deformation of lower layers due to excessive pressure.
5. Packaging Protection: If the aluminum has its original packaging, avoid removing it. If the packaging is damaged, it can be repackaged with plastic film or moisture-proof paper to prevent dust and moisture.
6. Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect the stored aluminum materials for oxidation, corrosion, deformation, and other problems. If any problems are found, take immediate action, such as cleaning and protecting slightly oxidized areas.
