Titanium storage methods

Titanium is a relatively stable metal and does not readily undergo chemical reactions under normal conditions. However, to ensure its quality and performance, certain measures are still necessary during storage and handling. It should be stored with at least 25% water for passivation. Ideally, it should be stored in an environment with a relative humidity below 50%. Titanium is prone to oxidation when exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light for extended periods; therefore, direct sunlight or ultraviolet radiation should be avoided as much as possible to maintain its surface luster and quality. Titanium is susceptible to electrochemical reactions and corrosion when in contact with some metals; therefore, contact with other metals should be avoided, especially in humid environments. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 35°C, and containers should be kept sealed to prevent contact with air. It should be stored separately from oxidizers, acids, halogens, etc., and mixed storage is strictly prohibited. Appropriate types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment should be provided. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaks. Regularly inspect the stored titanium to ensure that its appearance shows no obvious changes or signs of corrosion. If any problems are found, measures should be taken immediately.

Operate in a closed system with local exhaust ventilation. Operators must undergo specialized training and strictly adhere to operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter dust masks, safety goggles, breathable protective clothing, and gloves that protect against toxic substances. Keep away from sources of ignition and heat; smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment.
