How to store precision steel pipes to prevent rust and extend service life

First, we need to choose a suitable place for storage, clean it up, ventilate it well, and avoid debris and harmful gases. The surface of the steel should be kept clean to avoid corrosion. If it is a metal product with a higher price, you can consider storing it in a sealed warehouse, but pay attention to ventilation. For precision steel pipes, use opaque covers to protect them during storage to avoid rust and aging. The cover should be strong and reliable, ensure ventilation, and avoid water vapor gathering on the surface. There should be supports during storage, and there should be a certain distance from the ground to ensure ventilation. Pay attention to the number of layers when stacking to avoid local stress on the pipe end and damage to the anti-corrosion layer. At the same time, we should also pay attention to pickling the precision steel pipe, which can be done by chemical and electrolytic methods. Chemical cleaning can clean the surface thoroughly, but it may not be able to remove dirt in the cracks.

First, we need to know how to prevent rust. At the same time, it is also important to clean the surface of precision steel pipes, and solvents or emulsions can be used to remove oil and dust.

Secondly, we need to know what the precision steel pipes are used for and what can be done after maintenance. Precision steel pipes can be used in the manufacture of mechanical equipment, automobiles, aerospace, and other fields. To extend the life of precision steel pipes, we can choose suitable sites and warehouses to store them, keep the steel pipes clean, do not stack them with materials that are corrosive to the steel pipes, and stack different types of steel pipes separately.

Again, reasonable stacking should be stacked according to types and specifications, and different types of materials should be stacked separately to prevent confusion and mutual corrosion. The bottom of the stack should be raised, solid, and flat to prevent the material from getting damp or deformed. For steel sections stacked in the open air, there must be wooden pads or stone strips underneath, and the stack surface should be slightly tilted to facilitate drainage, Pay attention to the straight placement of the materials to prevent bending and deformation. At the same time, a certain passage should be left between the stacks. The inspection passage is generally 0.5m, and the access passage depends on the size of the material and the transportation machinery, generally 1.5 to 2.0m.

Finally, the packaging and protective layer of protective materials are important measures to prevent material corrosion. The preservatives or other plating and packaging applied by the steel mill before leaving the factory must be protected during transportation and loading and unloading, and must not be damaged, which can extend the storage period of the materials. Before the materials are put into storage, they must be protected from rain or impurities. For materials that have been rained on or soiled, different methods should be used to clean them according to their properties. For example, wire brushes can be used for materials with high hardness, and cloth, cotton, etc. can be used for materials with low hardness. After the materials are put into storage, they should be checked frequently. If there is rust, the rust layer should be removed. For high-quality steel, precision steel pipes, alloy thin steel plates, thin-walled pipes, high-frequency welded steel pipes, alloy steel pipes, etc., after rust removal, the inner and outer surfaces must be coated with anti-rust oil before storage. For steel pipes with severe rust, it is not suitable to store them for a long time after rust removal, and they should be used as soon as possible.

The above methods are the simplest ways to extend the life of precision steel pipes. We only need to follow these methods to make precision steel pipes bring us great help during use. I hope everyone can try it to make our precision steel pipes more durable.
