What are the storage requirements for welded H-beams?

Welded steel plays a decisive role in construction. It must have sufficient strength and stability to ensure the safety of the house. There are many types of steel, and different steels have different functions. Welded steel is often used in large buildings that require large interception capacity and good cross-sectional stability, as well as bridges, ships, lifting and transportation machinery, etc. So how to store welded steel? Here are several methods for you.
Before putting welded steel into storage, care should be taken to prevent it from being exposed to rain or mixed with impurities. For welded steel that has been exposed to rain or stained, different methods should be used to clean it according to its properties. For example, if the hardness is high, a wire brush can be used. Use cloth, cotton and other materials with low hardness.
Welded steel sections should be inspected frequently after storage. If there is any rust, the rust layer should be removed. Generally, there is no need to apply oil after the steel surface is cleaned. However, for high-quality steel, alloy thin steel plates, thin-walled pipes, alloy steel pipes, etc., after rust removal, both the internal and external surfaces need to be coated with anti-rust oil before storage. For severely corroded steel, it should not be stored for a long time after rust removal and should be used as soon as possible.
Only if we store it according to a certain method will we have greater benefits for welded steel and extend its life.
