Store metal powders in sealed containers, away from moisture, direct sunlight, and high temperatures. Maintain a well-ventilated, dry area at an appropriate temperature (20–25 °C).
2Prevention of Static Electricity and Fire Hazards
Certain metal powders (e.g., Al, Mg, Ti) are flammable and potentially explosive. Implement anti-static measures and keep all ignition sources away during handling.
3Precautions During Transportation
Metal powders may be classified as hazardous materials under UN regulations. Use approved packaging and labels, and provide cushioning to prevent impact or leakage.
4Sealing and Labeling
To avoid cross-contamination, attach labels showing product name, grade, manufacturing date, and batch number. Employ double sealing (inner PE bag plus outer drum/box).
5Inventory Management and Shelf Life
Long-term storage can lead to oxidation and performance degradation. Use powders within their recommended shelf life and manage inventory on a FIFO (First-In, First-Out) basis.
