Bumper Plates Left in Rain

#1

Can i safely leavy my bumper plates in the rain without ruining them?

#2

Not sure why this is in powerlifting but unless the inserts are stainless steel it wouldn’t be a wise move.

#3

Sorry just thought I would get a response here. I think it is stainless steel . I will test it with a magnet.

#4

I would not do that.

#5

I brought them inside . I will have to get a space for them in the garage. It’s been dry here for a few days.

I can hear my dad now “take care of your things!”

Also most stainless steels will attract a magnet as they are Fe based with Chrome and Magnesium to prevent oxidation.
