Storage Condition of Aluminum-copper alloy forging

Aluminum-copper alloy forgings should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture absorption and corrosion. Ideal storage temperature is between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Avoid exposure to high humidity, direct sunlight, or corrosive substances such as acids or alkalis. Use protective coatings or packaging (e.g., VCI paper or plastic wraps) to shield the forgings from oxidation and contamination. Store them on pallets or racks so avoid contact with the ground and ensure proper airflow. Regularly inspect for signs of corrosion or damage, especially in humid or coastal areas. Proper storage ensures the material retains its mechanical properties and surface quality.
