To maintain performance and prevent contamination, titanium welding wire must be stored in a clean, controlled environment.
The storage area should be dry, well-ventilated, and free from corrosive gases. Avoid direct sunlight, rain exposure, or any extreme conditions. The ideal temperature range is 18°C to 24°C, with relative humidity kept between 40% and 60%. The space should also be clean and organized, free from dust, waste, pests, or microorganisms that could affect the welding wire’s surface or packaging.
In terms of storage duration, there are two main scenarios:
- Short-term storage (up to 3 months)
Titanium wire can be kept in sealed boxes or bags made of non-corrosive materials. Regular room temperature is generally acceptable, as long as humidity is controlled.
- Long-term storage (over 3 months)
A low-temperature, controlled environment is recommended. Extra precautions should be taken to keep the wire dry and shielded from air exposure to maintain its chemical stability and mechanical integrity.
