Manufactured out of Solid Steel, not Cast Iron
What is the point of manufacturing weight plates out of solid steel? There are quite a few reasons why ATX® chose to spend a few extra dollars on solid steel plates:
- Strength - solid steel has a far greater tensile strength compared to cast iron. This denser steel is substantially less prone to breaking or deforming.
- Corrosion, steel is not immune to corrosion but it is far more resistant to it compared to cast iron. That is one of the reasons why you won't find many of cast iron products in industrial applications.
- Durability - steel holds up far better against elements than iron over time - it can handle more heat and fire alongside other extreme forces.
- Thinnest on the market - by using quality steel, ATX® was able to stay within the required plate width, while reducing the overall thickness of the plate.
Don't get me wrong, weight plates manufactured out of Cast Iron are not bad. They offer a relatively cheap and quite durable solution to general strength training. However, not all iron/steel is made equally.
Different countries would source different quality iron ore and the characteristics of it would differ from country to country. If you had to purchase both cast iron or solid steel weight plates manufactured in the same country, I would recommend opting for a more durable option.
Machine Calibrated
There is a reason why these weight plates do not feature calibration plugs. That is because each plate is CNC machined out of a solid block of steel.
This precision engineering allows the ATX® Powerlifting Discs to be within +/- 0.25% or 10 grams of the nominated weight.
Machine calibration is also a tad cheaper compared to hand calibration, this is where the German's saved some money during the manufacturing process. Essentially giving you a higher quality product, with the same features for a lower price.
International Colour Coding
The Olympic colour coding exists so that both the user and the spectator could identify the weight much easier.
However, the hard-chrome coating doesn't make the identification any easier. That is why ATX® decided to machine a colour-coded groove on a side of the plate.
Each of the ATX® Calibrated Steel Plates comes with a vinyl ATX® logo and weight numeration.
