How to Store Iron Plates So They Don't Bend

Iron plates are one of the important materials in construction and manufacturing projects. However, if not stored properly, iron plates can bend or deform, which of course will interfere with the quality and precision of the work. So, how do you store iron plates so that they stay straight and in good condition?

1. Place on a Flat and Strong Surface
Iron plates should be placed on a strong flat floor or shelf. Avoid uneven surfaces because gravitational pressure can cause certain parts to bend over time.

2. Store Horizontally
Ideally, iron plates are stored horizontally, with uniform stacks and not too high. Stacks that are too high can cause excessive pressure on the bottom, so they are at risk of bending.

3. Use Supports at Several Points
If they must be stacked, place wooden blocks or steel supports at several points with an even distance between the plates. This helps distribute the load evenly and prevents bending at certain points.

4. Avoid Direct Exposure to Sunlight
Extreme temperature changes due to direct sunlight can affect the structure of the iron plate, especially if one side is hotter than the other. Store in a closed and cool place to maintain its shape stability.

5. Protect from Humidity
Although the warping is not caused by rust, humidity can worsen the condition of the iron plate that is already under pressure. Use a light anti-rust coating or cover it with plastic if storage is carried out for the long term.
