Storage Requirements
Environmental controls, security protocols, and handling guidelines.
Environment
- protect from weather
- preserve material condition
- NOT mandatory climate control like aerospace
Weather Protection
- reduce corrosion
- preserve material value
Duration
- weeks to months without degradation risk
Humidity Control
practical
- No Dehumidification Systems Required
- Standard Industrial Covering Sufficient
reason
- Bulk Aluminum Castings Less Oxidation-Sensitive Than Thin Sheet/Foil Materials
recommendation
- Solid Castings Resistant To Corrosion Compared To Thin Scrap
Temperature Control
practical
- Standard Industrial Storage
- Outdoor Covered Yard Acceptable
requirement
- No Climate Control Needed
Documentation
requirement
- Not Detailed Aerospace Traceability
storage
- Documentation Accessible For Inspection
- Coa And Xrf Report On File
Security
access
