Storage of Aluminum Sheet, Aluminum coils and Aluminum Extrusions

Storage of Aluminum Sheet, Aluminum coils and Aluminum Extrusions



if at all possible, do not stack the aluminum plates in a flat stack on the ground. Storage in this way traps water between the sheets, increasing corrosion rates. Instead, stack the plates on edge to allow water to drain between the pieces. If sheets must be stacked flat, remove any paper interleaving or packing from between the plates. If left in place, the paper will act as a wick and draw water into between the plates. If the sheets are stacked flat, try not to stack one sheet directly on top of another. Instead, insert small wood or aluminum “stickers” between the sheets to let water drain.
