HOW PREVENT THESE PROBLEM?
ANY SPECIAL TYPE PACKING?
ANY POST TREATMENT IN PRESERVATION?

Hi There,

Just let us know whether the components are cast iron, I would suggest to have an trivalent iridescent passivation with an topcoat, later dry well or cure it well so that the components are completely dry, also just check the packaging material , nowadays there are lot of special chemical coated packaging papers available which prevents corrosion, mainly when your parts are to be shipped across via sea.

We are facing these problem in some areas as white pit marks. It may related to improper storage?
