Shelf Life Enhancement and Rust

Prevention in Coils & MIG Wire


• Focus on Alloys with >30% Iron Content
• Presented by: [Your Name]
• Date: [Insert Date]
Introduction
• Final materials like coils and MIG wire are
critical in manufacturing.
• High iron content makes them susceptible to
rust.
• Goal: Increase shelf life and prevent rust.
Understanding the Material
• Coils and MIG wire are typically composed of
iron-rich alloys.
• Alloys with >30% iron are prone to oxidation.
• Common materials: Carbon steel, low alloy
steels.
Causes of Rust Formation
• Exposure to moisture and oxygen.
• Fluctuating temperatures.
• Poor storage conditions.
• Lack of protective coatings.
Impact of Rust on Final Materials
• Weakens structural integrity.
• Poor weld quality in MIG wires.
• Higher rejection rate during inspections.
• Reduces lifespan and usability.
Shelf Life Factors
• Material composition affects corrosion rate.
• Environmental factors: humidity, air exposure.
• Packaging quality.
• Surface finish and treatments.
Rust Prevention Techniques
• Surface treatments: Galvanization,
phosphating, passivation.
• Rust inhibitors and protective oils.
• Use of desiccants.
• Vacuum-sealed packaging.
Storage Best Practices
• Maintain low humidity environments.
• Use VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) wraps.
• Keep materials off the floor.
• Apply FIFO (First-In, First-Out) inventory
method.
Monitoring & Inspection
• Routine inspections for rust.
• Use of data loggers and corrosion sensors.
• Keep storage and inspection records.
Case Study / Sample Results
• Comparison of rust formation with vs. without
protection.
• Data: Reduced rust by 80% using VCI
packaging.
• ROI analysis: Cost-effective method to reduce
waste.
Summary & Recommendations
• Combine surface treatment + controlled
storage.
• Use VCI wraps, desiccants, and sealed
packaging.
• Monitor and train teams for proper handling.
Q&A
• Open for questions.
• Discussion on specific rust challenges in your
facility.
