Abstract
A method of storing and transporting a set of multiple coils of 6xxx-series aluminium alloy sheet material in a T4 or T4P condition, wherein the coils are stored and transported in a housing defining a storage area adapted and configured to receive and store the coils, and wherein the housing is formed by an intermodal container and includes a temperature control unit integrated with the housing operative to control the temperature within the storage area defined by the housing to a temperature in a range of 15° C. or less.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- storing and transporting a set of multiple coils of 6xxx-series aluminium alloy sheet material in a T4 or T4P condition,
- wherein said coils are stored and transported in a housing defining a storage area adapted and configured to receive and store said coils, and
- wherein the housing is formed by an intermodal container and comprises a temperature control unit integrated with said housing and operative to control the temperature within said storage area defined by said housing to a temperature in a range of 18° or less.
A method of using an intermodal container having a housing defining a storage area adapted and configured to receive and store multiple coils of aluminium alloy sheet material, comprising storing and transporting said multiple coils of 6xxx-series aluminium alloy sheet material in a T4 or T4P condition in the intermodal container, wherein the housing comprises a temperature control unit integrated with said housing and operative to control the temperature within said storage area to a temperature in a range of 18° C. or less.
Kit-of-parts formed by a set of multiple coils of 6xxx-series aluminium alloy sheet material in a T4 or T4P condition and an intermodal container having a housing defining a storage area adapted and configured to receive and store and transporting said coils, the housing comprises a temperature control unit integrated with said housing and operative to control the temperature within said storage area to a temperature in a range of 18° C. or less, for storing and transporting said set of multiple coils.
