Steel wire rods are typically stored in dry and well-ventilated areas to prevent moisture accumulation, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. They are often kept in stacks or on racks with adequate spacing between each rod to allow for air circulation. Additionally, steel wire rods are protected from corrosion by applying a coating or using corrosion-resistant materials such as galvanized or stainless steel. Regular inspections and maintenance are conducted to ensure the storage conditions are optimal and any signs of corrosion are promptly addressed.
