Storage and transportation are critical to the quality and service life of ASTM AH36 steel plate. The following are precautions for the storage and transportation of ASTM AH36 steel plate:
1. Storage precautions:
- Dry environment: Store ASTM AH36 steel plate in a dry, well-ventilated environment to avoid moisture or other corrosion factors.
- Away from moisture: Avoid storage in wet places, should choose dry, non-permeable ground for storage.
- Away from corrosion sources: Avoid contact with chemicals, acid and alkali substances to prevent corrosion on the surface of ASTM AH36 steel plate.
- Flat storage: The steel plate should be kept flat to avoid deformation and damage.
2. Packaging and marking:
Before transportation and storage, steel plates should be properly packaged to prevent surface damage or corrosion.
- Clear identification of the steel plate, including specifications, batch number, production date and other information, to help track and manage.
3. Avoid stress and damage:
- During handling and stacking, shocks and collisions should be avoided to prevent scratches or damage to the surface of the steel plate.
- Avoid being squeezed or pressed for a long time, so as not to cause deformation or affect use.
4. Transportation precautions:
- Reasonable loading and unloading: Professional equipment should be used during loading and unloading, and careful operation to ensure that no damage will be caused to the ASTM AH36 steel plate.
- Fixed firmly: During transportation, ensure that the steel plate is fixed firmly to avoid shaking or collision during transportation.
Protect the surface: Use a covering or packaging material to protect the surface of the ASTM AH36 steel sheet from external scratches or corrosion.
5. Check regularly:
- Regularly check storage and transportation conditions to ensure compliance with relevant requirements, and deal with possible problems in a timely manner to ensure the quality of steel plates.
By strictly adhering to these storage and transportation precautions, it is possible to ensure that ASTM AH36 steel plate are kept in good condition during storage and transportation, reducing the occurrence of damage and quality problems, thus guaranteeing their final use effect and life.
